Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.
So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,
and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.
Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?

∙ 14y agono 40 degrees is closer to 0 degrees or the equater than 80 degrees
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. The latitudes are measured beginning at the equator,
so 60 is farther from it than 50 is.

Is Ireland above or below the equator?
The Northern most point in Spain is at North latitude 43 degrees 47 minutes. That is very close to the latitude of Saginaw MI. The Southern most point in mainland Spain is North 36 degrees 00 minutes. That is about the same Latitude as Knoxville TN. The ABSOLUTE most Southern point of the country is located in the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It is at North 27 degrees 38 minutes. That is about the same latitude as Tampa FL. Here is a question for you. What are the Northern most, Southern most, Eastern most, and Western most states of all 50 states in the U.S. Answer: Hawaii is the Southern most state. Alaska is the Northern most, Western most, AND EASTERN most of the 50 states. Look at a map. Alaska crosses the 180th meridian. That puts it in BOTH the eastern and western hemispehers.

Why is the source of the Mississippi river 5 km closer to the center of the Earth than the mouth?
the earth buldges around the equator due to centrifugal forcing (like an oval) the source of the river is closer to the center of the earth because it is farther north and its mouth is at the equator. draw a diagram of an oval and vectors from the equator and 50*N and you can see this clearly (exagerated as it may be)

What is that mean 60 degrees north and 50 degrees east?
The earth is almost spherical. So if you travel north from the equator you are on a circular path (a line of longitude), and distance around a circle is measured in degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees north (so 60 degrees is two thirse the way). Similarly if you travel east, you are going around a circle parallel to the equator. Zero degrees is traditionally at Greenwich in London, England. So 50 degrees east is 50 degrees around this circle (of latitude). All lines of longitude meet at the poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the equator (which is zero latitude).
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.

50 degrees c is warmer than 80 degrees f
What is the difference in 20 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius?
50 - 20 = 30 degrees 20 is (30) less than 50 and 50 is (30) more than 20 hence difference is 30.
