Longitude vs. Latitude
Difference Between Longitude and Latitude
Longitudenoun
Angular distance on the earth's surface, measured east or west from the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England, to the meridian passing through a position, expressed in degrees (or hours), minutes, and seconds.
Latitudenoun
The angular distance north or south of the earth's equator, measured in degrees along a meridian, as on a map or globe.
Longitudenoun
Celestial longitude.
Latitudenoun
A region of the earth considered in relation to its distance from the equator:temperate latitudes.
Longitudenoun
(geography) Angular distance measured west or east of the prime meridian.
Latitudenoun
(Astronomy)The angular distance of a celestial body north or south of the ecliptic.
Longitudenoun
Any imaginary line perpendicular to the equator and part of a great circle passing through the North Pole and South Pole.
Latitudenoun
Freedom from normal restraints, limitations, or regulations.
Longitudenoun
(archaic) Length.
Latitudenoun
A range of values or conditions, especially the range of exposures over which a photographic film yields usable images.
Longitudenoun
an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator;
all points on the same meridian have the same longitudeLatitudenoun
(Archaic)Width; breadth.
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.
His parents gave him a great deal of latitude.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
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;
the new freedom in movies and novelsallowed his children considerable latitude in how they spent their moneyLatitudenoun
an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator
Latitudenoun
scope for freedom of e.g. action or thought; freedom from restriction
