*from ‘north’ to ‘south’* —>

-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° (North or South) at the poles)
(lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the ‘equator’)
(‘latitude’ is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth)
(without qualification the term ‘latitude’ should be taken to be the geodetic latitude as defined in the following sections)
(also defined are 6 auxiliary latitudes which are used in special applications)
(each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (or 111 km) apart)
(the length varies due to the earth’s slightly ellipsoid shape)
(can vary from 68.703 miles at equator to 69.407 miles at the poles)
.
(so each “minute” (or “1/60 of a degree”) is equivalent to 1 “nautical mile”)
