The three points forming the angle of latitude are all on the same meridian.
The first point is on the equator.
The second point is the earth's centre.
The third point is North or South of the first point on the latitude of interest.
The angle formed by these three points is the angle of latitude.

What type of angle would be formed by a clock's hands when it is 3?
The hands form a right angle. At 3 o'clock, the minute hand points straight up, and the hour hand points straight to the right.
What does it mean for one line to be perpendicular to another?
That they meet to form an angle of 90 degrees.That they meet to form an angle of 90 degrees.That they meet to form an angle of 90 degrees.That they meet to form an angle of 90 degrees.
Where do rays meet to form an angle?
They meet at a vertex to form an angle
Largest internal angle?
Hey there! Im taking earth science regents and this question came across, What is the largest internal angle of latitude that can be measured form the equator? The correct answer is 90 degrees north and south. My teacher has told my class and I have researched it. Hope that helps!
Will any two rays form an angle?
Will Any two rays form an angle?
What is the name of the line that goes across the map from west to east?
east and west hemisphere
Do latitude units go east and west?
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
Is 30N a line of latitude or longitude?
" 30° N " is a statement of latitude. All the points on Earth that have that latitude form a parallel of constant latitude, or a 'line' if you will.
When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?
A meridian of longitude and a parallel of latitude are perpendicular at their intersection, forming a right angle.
Which way do lines of latitude measure?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any measuring for you. Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south, from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe, there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
What is 0 latitude also called?
The line formed by the infinite number of points with zero latitude is commonly called the "equator".
What is the name of the line of latitude the measures 0?
All the points on earth with zero latitude form a line called the Equator.
What 2 lines mark zero degrees on the globe?
All points on Earth with zero latitude and every longitude form the equator. All points on Earth with zero longitude and every latitude form the Prime Meridian.
Why are lines of longitude measured east to west?
The answer is much simpler if we don't get hung up on the "lines". -- The longitude of a place is an angle measured east or west of the zero-reference longitude. -- The latitude of a place is an angle measured north or south of the zero-reference latitude. -- All of the points on Earth that have the same one single longitude blend together to form a line that connects the Earth's north and south poles. -- All of the points on Earth that have the same one single latitude blend together to form a line that circles the Earth east and west. (Compare: -- All of the points on the wall that have the same vertical distance from the floor blend together to form a horizontal line. -- All of the points on the wall that have the same horizontal distance from the corner blend together to form a vertical line. Why is this so hard to understand and discuss ?)
In math what are vertices?
Vertices are the points where edges meet and form an angle.
What type of angle would be formed by a clock's hands when it is 3?
The hands form a right angle. At 3 o'clock, the minute hand points straight up, and the hour hand points straight to the right.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
