What is the difference in latitude between A (36°42'37"N, 110°05'53''E) and B (27°48'05''N, 102°12'21''E)?
  • A
    8°54'32''
  • B
    07°53'32''
  • C
    09°06'32''
  • D
    64°54'32''

Latitude is measured as an angle from the Equator and the maximum latitude can be 90º North or 90º South.

The Change of Latitude is the angle between the two parallels, measured at the centre of the Earth. To find the Change of Latitude:

  • When the parallels of latitude are in different hemispheres - Add.
  • When the parallels of latitude are in the same hemisphere - Subtract.
The two points A and B are in the same hemisphere (North), so subtract the angles to find the change of latitude: 36°42'37'' - 27°48'05'' = 8°54'32''.
