Answer:

degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines of latitude are measured in degrees because the Earth is a sphere, the lines of latitude and longitude create multiple circles around Earth, having a complete 360° circle. This means that each line has to be measured in degrees.

Hope this helps! :)
