Latitude vs. Colatitude — What's the Difference?

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.

In a spherical coordinate system, a colatitude is the complementary angle of a given latitude, i.e. the difference between 90° and the latitude.

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

(astronomy) The complement, in spherical coordinates, of a latitude (the difference between a latitude and 90°).

Scope for freedom of action or thought

The complement of the latitude, or the difference between any latitude and ninety degrees.

The angular distance north or south of the earth's equator, measured in degrees along a meridian, as on a map or globe.

A region of the earth considered in relation to its distance from the equator:temperate latitudes.

(Astronomy)The angular distance of a celestial body north or south of the ecliptic.

Freedom from normal restraints, limitations, or regulations.

A range of values or conditions, especially the range of exposures over which a photographic film yields usable images.

(Archaic)Width; breadth.

The angular distance north or south from a planet's equator, measured along the meridian of that particular point.

(geography) An imaginary line (in fact a circumference) around a planet running parallel to the planet's equator.

(figurative) The relative freedom from restrictions; scope to do something.

(astronomy) The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.

(photography) The extent to which a light-sensitive material can be over- or underexposed and still achieve an acceptable result.

Extent or scope; e.g. breadth, width or amplitude.

Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.

Room; space; freedom from confinement or restraint; hence, looseness; laxity; independence.

Extent or breadth of signification, application, etc.; extent of deviation from a standard, as truth, style, etc.

Extent; size; amplitude; scope.

Distance north or south of the equator, measured on a meridian.

The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.

The angular distance between an imaginary line around a heavenly body parallel to its equator and the equator itself

Freedom from normal restraints in conduct;

An imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator

Scope for freedom of e.g. action or thought; freedom from restriction
