No.
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 ?

No, 60 degrees N is farther from the equator than 50 degrees S. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, so the further a point is from the equator in either direction, the farther it is from the equator.

∙ 14y agoNo. The latitudes are measured beginning at the equator,
so 60 is farther from it than 50 is.
