Question

1. what is the highest degree of latitude? 90°n 120°n 150°n (circle one)

Explanation:

Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator. The range of latitude is from \(0^\circ\) (equator) to \(90^\circ\) (North Pole for \(90^\circ\text{N}\), South Pole for \(90^\circ\text{S}\)). Latitude values cannot exceed \(90^\circ\) because beyond that, it would be outside the defined range of latitude (as the poles are at \(90^\circ\) latitude). So \(120^\circ\text{N}\) and \(150^\circ\text{N}\) are not valid latitude values, while \(90^\circ\text{N}\) (North Pole) is the highest northern latitude.

Answer:

\(90^\circ\text{N}\)
