Angular distance from a primary great circle or plane. See coordinate, table.Terrestrial latitude is angular distance from the equator, measured northward or southward through 90 degrees and labeled N or S to indicate the direction of measurement; astronomical latitude is angular distance between the direction of gravity and the plane of the equator; geodetic or topographical latitude is angular distance between the plane of the equator and a normal to the spheroid; geocentric latitude is the angle between a line to the center of the earth and the plane of the equator. Geodetic and sometimes astronomical latitude are also called geographic latitude. Geodetic latitude is used for charts. Assumed latitude is the latitude at which an observer is assumed to be located for an observation or computation. Fictitious latitude is angular distance from a fictitious equator. Grid latitude in angular distance from a grid equator. Transverse or inverse latitude is angular distance from a transverse equator. Oblique latitude is angular distance from an oblique equator. Difference of latitude is the shorter arc of any meridian between the paralles of two places, expressed in angular measure. Magnetic latitude, magnetic inclination, or magnetic dip is angular distance between the horizontal and the direction of a line of force of the earth's magnetic field at any point. Geomagnetic latitude is angular distance from geomagnetic equator. A parallel of latitude is a circle (or approximation of a circle) of the earth, parallel to the equator, and connecting points of equal latitude; or a circle of the celestial sphere, parallel to the ecliptic. Celestial latitude is angular distance north or south of the ecliptic. Galactic latitude is angular distance North or south of the galactic equator. See variation of latitude. (references)

Specialty Definition: Latitude

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Latitude, denoted φ, gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the equator. Latitude is an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.

Usually, the difference in latitude largely affects the climates or weathers of that region.

Other latitudes of particular importance are the tropic of Cancer (latitude 23o27' north), the tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23o27' south), the arctic circle (latitude 66o33' north) and the antarctic circle (latitude 66o33' south). Only at latitudes between the tropics is it possible for the sun to be at the zenith. Only north of the arctic circle or south of the antarctic circle is the midnight sun possible.

All locations of a given latitude are collectively referred to as a parallel, because they are coplanar, and all such planes are parallel to the equator.

Latitude more loosely determines tendencies in climate, aurora, prevailing winds, and other physical characteristics of geographic locations.

One minute of arc of latitude is approximately one nautical mile.

John Locke

1690

But when mistake or flattery prevailed with weak princes to make use of this power for private ends of their own, and not for the public good, the people were fain by express laws to get prerogative determined in those points wherein they found disadvantage from it: and thus declared limitations of prerogative were by the people found necessary in cases which they and their ancestors had left, in the utmost latitude, to the wisdom of those princes who made no other but a right use of it, that is, for the good of their people.

There is greater UVR exposure with decreasing latitude. (references)

The extent of an individual's exposure, however, varies widely depending on a multiplicity of factors such as clothing, occupation, lifestyle, age, and geographic factors such as altitude and latitude. (references)

There is even stronger evidence for the role of sunlight in causing SCC's. Although both BCC's and SCC's are more prevalent in geographic areas of high sun exposure, there is a much greater increase in SCC with decreasing latitude and increasing sun exposure. (references)

Business

Severance compensation is generous and management latitude to alter its workforce is restricted. (references)

One notable exception is the technology that has been developed under the guidance of Swedish scientist Hakan Lans. The Global Positioning and Communication System (GP&C) is an “intelligent data link” which can be installed in aircraft to provide identification and highly accurate data on latitude and longitude, altitude, heading and time. Lans believes that GP&C has the capability of replacing any navigational aids currently in existence, while also providing a data link, precision approach capability, and collision avoidance in the air and on the ground.

At the same time the GON is seeking to rebuild Kongsberg into a bigger and more diversified company reminiscent of the "Kongsberg Vaapenfabrik" that was broken up in the late 1980s as a result of the "Kongsberg-Toshiba" export licensing case. There has also been a strong effort on the part of the MOD to support its small defense industry by requiring 100 percent offset for any Norwegian military contracts in excess of 50 million NOK. Moreover, it is not an easy process for an American company to acquire a controlling interest in any Norwegian company nor to manage that company with wide latitude, given the nature of the Norwegian economy and labor practices.

Devil's Dictionary

DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing. Hearst kept a diary wherein were writ All that he had of wisdom and of wit. So the Recording Angel, when Hearst died, Erased all entries of his own and cried: "I'll judge you by your diary." Said Hearst: "Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First" -- Straightway producing, jubilant and proud, That record from a pocket in his shroud. The Angel slowly turned the pages o'er, Each stupid line of which he knew before, Glooming and gleaming as by turns he hit On Shallow sentiment and stolen wit; Then gravely closed the book and gave it back. "My friend, you've wandered from your proper track: You'd never be content this side the tomb -- For big ideas Heaven has little room, And Hell's no latitude for making mirth," He said, and kicked the fellow back to earth.
