Altitude vs. Latitude
Altitudenoun
The absolute height of a location, usually measured from sea level.
Altitudenoun
A vertical distance.
Altitudenoun
(geometry) The distance measured perpendicularly from a figure's vertex to the opposite side of the vertex.
Altitudenoun
(astronomy) The angular distance of a heavenly body above our Earth's horizon.
Altitudenoun
Height of rank or excellence; superiority.
Altitudenoun
Elevation of spirits; heroics; haughty airs.
Altitudenoun
Highest point or degree.
Altitudenoun
Space extended upward; height; the perpendicular elevation of an object above its foundation, above the ground, or above a given level, or of one object above another; as, the altitude of a mountain, or of a bird above the top of a tree.
Altitudenoun
The elevation of a point, or star, or other celestial object, above the horizon, measured by the arc of a vertical circle intercepted between such point and the horizon. It is either true or apparent; true when measured from the rational or real horizon, apparent when from the sensible or apparent horizon.
Altitudenoun
The perpendicular distance from the base of a figure to the summit, or to the side parallel to the base; as, the altitude of a triangle, pyramid, parallelogram, frustum, etc.
Altitudenoun
Height of degree; highest point or degree.
Altitudenoun
Height of rank or excellence; superiority.
Altitudenoun
Elevation of spirits; heroics; haughty airs.
Altitudenoun
elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface;
Altitudenoun
the perpendicular distance from the base of a geometric figure to opposite vertex (or side if parallel)
Altitudenoun
angular distance above the horizon (especially of a celestial object)
Altitude
Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure).
Latitudenoun
The angular distance north or south from a planet's equator, measured along the meridian of that particular point.
Latitudenoun
(geography) An imaginary line (in fact a circumference) around a planet running parallel to the planet's equator.
Latitudenoun
The relative freedom from restrictions; scope to do something.
Latitudenoun
(astronomy) The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.
Latitudenoun
(photography) The extent to which a light-sensitive material can be over- or underexposed and still achieve an acceptable result.
Latitudenoun
Extent or scope; e.g. breadth, width or amplitude.
Latitudenoun
Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.
Latitudenoun
Room; space; freedom from confinement or restraint; hence, looseness; laxity; independence.
Latitudenoun
Extent or breadth of signification, application, etc.; extent of deviation from a standard, as truth, style, etc.
Latitudenoun
Extent; size; amplitude; scope.
Latitudenoun
Distance north or south of the equator, measured on a meridian.
Latitudenoun
The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.
Latitudenoun
the angular distance between an imaginary line around a heavenly body parallel to its equator and the equator itself
Latitudenoun
freedom from normal restraints in conduct;
Latitudenoun
an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator
Latitudenoun
scope for freedom of e.g. action or thought; freedom from restriction
Latitudenoun
the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of the equator of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes
Latitudenoun
regions, especially with reference to their temperature and distance from the equator
Latitudenoun
scope for freedom of action or thought
Latitudenoun
the range of exposures for which an emulsion or printing paper will give acceptable contrast
Latitude
In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.
