The North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south latitude. Latitudes are always positive numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Longitudes are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England. The Prime Meridian is 0 degrees longitude. The International Date Line is 180 degrees longitude.
