Which is closer to the equator? -30ºN or 15ºS?

Can someone tell me about negative degrees please?

Oh, think of negative as opposite. So take out of the negative and switch North to South. So, -30 N = 30 S.

Negative degrees North (?)...I thought only negatives were for west and south.

 

Basically, you would either have negative longitude for west and negative latitude for south.

Thank you, AzizHusain. I still don't understand the negative ones.
