"Zero latitude" is the line closest to the equator, because it's the definition of the equator itself.
Once you leave the equator, there's no such thing as the "closest line". Any parallel of latitude
you draw, no matter how close it is to the equator, I can always draw one that's closer. There's
no 'official' set of lines. You can draw as few or as many lines as you want, wherever you want them.
