Altitude vs. Latitude
Difference Between Altitude and Latitude
Altitudenoun
The absolute height of a location, usually measured from sea level.
As the altitude increases, the temperature gets lower, so remember to bring warm clothes to the mountains.Latitudenoun
The angular distance north or south from a planet's equator, measured along the meridian of that particular point.
Altitudenoun
A vertical distance.
Latitudenoun
(geography) An imaginary line (in fact a circumference) around a planet running parallel to the planet's equator.
Altitudenoun
(geometry) The distance measured perpendicularly from a figure's vertex to the opposite side of the vertex.
The perpendicular height of a triangle is known as its altitude.Latitudenoun
The relative freedom from restrictions; scope to do something.
His parents gave him a great deal of latitude.Altitudenoun
(astronomy) The angular distance of a heavenly body above our Earth's horizon.
Latitudenoun
(astronomy) The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.
Altitudenoun
Height of rank or excellence; superiority.
Latitudenoun
(photography) The extent to which a light-sensitive material can be over- or underexposed and still achieve an acceptable result.
Altitudenoun
Elevation of spirits; heroics; haughty airs.
Latitudenoun
Extent or scope; e.g. breadth, width or amplitude.
Altitudenoun
Highest point or degree.
Latitudenoun
the angular distance between an imaginary line around a heavenly body parallel to its equator and the equator itself
Altitudenoun
elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface;
the altitude gave her a headacheLatitudenoun
freedom from normal restraints in conduct;
the new freedom in movies and novelsallowed his children considerable latitude in how they spent their moneyAltitudenoun
the perpendicular distance from the base of a geometric figure to opposite vertex (or side if parallel)
Latitudenoun
an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator
Altitudenoun
angular distance above the horizon (especially of a celestial object)
Latitudenoun
scope for freedom of e.g. action or thought; freedom from restriction
