Places having same latitude A. Lie on the parallel of the latitude B. Are equidistant from the nearer pole C. Are equidistant from both the poles D. All the above

The correct answer is D. All the above.

Places having the same latitude lie on a parallel of latitude. A parallel of latitude is an imaginary line on the Earth’s surface that circles the globe parallel to the equator. The equator is the

line of latitude that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Earth’s axis of rotation passes through the North and South Poles. Places having the same latitude are equidistant from the nearer pole. This is because the Earth is a sphere, and all points on a sphere are equidistant from the center of the sphere. Places having the same latitude are also equidistant from both the poles. This is because the Earth’s axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of the equator.
