Answer
A number of latitudes can be drawn on the face of the globe but in order to have a better visual effect and convenience, geographers draw only seven, which are as follows:
Equator, (0°)
North Pole, (90°) North
South Pole, (90°) South
Tropic of Cancer, (23½° N)
Tropic of Capricorn, (23½° S)
Arctic Circle, (66½° N)
