Farthest from Equator: Tasmania, Tanzania, or Transylvania?

By latitude:

  • Tasmania ~42°S
  • Transylvania (Romania) ~46°N
  • Tanzania ~6°S

Tasmania is farthest from the equator (42° vs. 46°—but southern hemisphere distance is absolute latitude). Actually, Transylvania (46°N) is slightly farther in absolute degrees. However, Tasmania's southern latitude places it farther from the equator than Tanzania, and roughly comparable to Transylvania. Precise answer: Transylvania (46°) > Tasmania (42°) > Tanzania (6°) in angular distance from equator.
