Explanation:

Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the reference line for latitude. By definition, the latitude of the equator is \(0^{\circ}\). \(180^{\circ}\) is a longitude value (opposite of the Prime Meridian). \(90^{\circ}\) is the latitude of the North or South Pole. 12 hours is a measure of time (related to longitude in terms of time zones, but not a latitude measure). "Undefined (by international agreement)" is incorrect as the equator's latitude is clearly defined.

Answer:

\(0^{\circ}\)
