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
Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.
‘Provided the length do not exceed the latitude above one third part.’;
Altitudenoun
Space extended upward; height; the perpendicular elevation of an object above its foundation, above the ground, or above a given level, or of one object above another; as, the altitude of a mountain, or of a bird above the top of a tree.
Latitudenoun
Room; space; freedom from confinement or restraint; hence, looseness; laxity; independence.
‘In human actions there are no degrees and precise natural limits described, but a latitude is indulged.’;
Altitudenoun
The elevation of a point, or star, or other celestial object, above the horizon, measured by the arc of a vertical circle intercepted between such point and the horizon. It is either true or apparent; true when measured from the rational or real horizon, apparent when from the sensible or apparent horizon.
Latitudenoun
Extent or breadth of signification, application, etc.; extent of deviation from a standard, as truth, style, etc.
‘No discreet man will believe Augustine's miracles, in the latitude of monkish relations.’;
Altitudenoun
The perpendicular distance from the base of a figure to the summit, or to the side parallel to the base; as, the altitude of a triangle, pyramid, parallelogram, frustum, etc.
Latitudenoun
Extent; size; amplitude; scope.
‘I pretend not to treat of them in their full latitude.’;
Altitudenoun
Height of degree; highest point or degree.
‘He is [proud] even to the altitude of his virtue.’;
Latitudenoun
Distance north or south of the equator, measured on a meridian.
Altitudenoun
Height of rank or excellence; superiority.
Latitudenoun
The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.
Altitudenoun
Elevation of spirits; heroics; haughty airs.
‘The man of law began to get into his altitude.’;
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 headache’;
Latitudenoun
freedom from normal restraints in conduct;
‘the new freedom in movies and novels’; ‘allowed his children considerable latitude in how they spent their money’;
Altitudenoun
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
Altitude
Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure).
‘up’;
Latitudenoun
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
‘lines of latitude’; ‘at a latitude of 51° N’;
Latitudenoun
regions, especially with reference to their temperature and distance from the equator
‘temperate latitudes’; ‘northern latitudes’;
Latitudenoun
scope for freedom of action or thought
‘journalists have considerable latitude in criticizing public figures’;
Latitudenoun
the range of exposures for which an emulsion or printing paper will give acceptable contrast
‘a film with a latitude which is outstanding’;
Latitude
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 (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.
