Length vs. Latitude — What's the Difference?

Length is a measure of distance. In the International System of Quantities, length is a quantity with dimension distance.

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.
