Here's the breakdown:
* Latitude: Lines of latitude run horizontally around the Earth, parallel to the equator. Each line of latitude is 1 degree apart. This means that the distance between the equator (0 degrees latitude) and the North Pole (90 degrees latitude) is 90 degrees.
* Longitude: Lines of longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each line of longitude is also 1 degree apart. However, unlike latitude, the distance between lines of longitude varies depending on the latitude. At the equator, the distance between lines of longitude is greatest, and it decreases as you move closer to the poles.
