Using Google Earth

The location of a place on Earth is described in terms of latitude and longitude. The farther a place is from the equator, the bigger the number of the degrees of latitude.
If one city is 40 degrees North (that means it is forty degrees north of the equator) and another is 40 degrees South (that means it is forty degrees south of the equator), then each city is the same distance from the equator.
If you are standing at 0 degrees latitude, you are on the equator. The North Pole is Latitude 90 degrees North and the South Pole is Latitude 90 degrees South.
Half way between the north pole and the equater is 45 degrees North.
