Question 4

Explain why there is no higher latitude other than 90 degrees North and South.

Answer

There is no higher latitude other than 90 degrees North and South because lines of latitude start at 0° (equator) and end at 90° (poles). All planes make a maximum angle of 90° from the plane of the equator.
