Answer 1

Although there exists a latitude for every degree, there are some that are more important than the rest. These are important specifically because they help identify and demarcate locations and zones that are essential to understand the Earth's relationship with the Sun's rays and the amount of heat received from them. The angle of a particular latitude increases as we move away from the Equator and towards the poles.
