Galactic Navigation
Latitude & Distance
On Earth, a place that is 10o north (example: the island of Tobago in
the Caribbean Sea) is the same distance from the Equator as a place that is
10o south (example: Cape York, Australia). Each place is about 1110 km
(or about 690 miles) from the Equator--the same exact distance. This is because
these places are on the surface of the Earth. They are not hovering up in the sky
or buried deep in the ground.
