Question

what is a latitude.​

Answer 1

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 which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator.

Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator.

Answer 2

Answer:

an angular distance in degrees north or south of the equator (latitude 0°), equal to the angle subtended at the centre of the globe by the meridian between the equator and the point in question. (often plural) a region considered with regard to its distance from the equatorSee longitude

Explanation:

Important lines of latitude:

the equator (0°)

the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north)

the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south)

the Arctic circle (66.5° north)

the Antarctic circle (66.5° south)

the North Pole (90° north)

the South Pole (90° south)

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.

"at a latitude of 51° N"
