Question

Distinguish between altitude and latitude.

Answer 1

Answer:

As nouns the difference between latitude and altitude

is that latitude is (geography|astronomy) the angular distance north or south from a planet's equator, measured along the meridian of that particular point while altitude is the height measured from sea level up to any given point.

Answer 2

As the words and nouns are different because latitude is an imaginary line from East to West in the Earth and altitude means a vertical elevation of an

object above a surface it means an object height from above (such as: sea level or land.)

Note: Latitude is used in geography (astronomy).
