प्रश्न
Give a reason for the following :
There are no latitudes higher than 90°N and 90°S.
उत्तर
The total circumference of a circle is 360° and the distance between the Equator and the North Pole is one-fourth of the circumference i.e. 90°. So we have 90 latitudes towards the north and 90 towards the south, which are denoted as 90° N and 90° S respectively.
