Latitid
Apparence
Latitid se yon distans an degre nò ak sid ekwatè a.[1]

Latè a pa yon esfè pafè (epi li yon ti jan "aplati" nan pòl yo). Distans fizik chak degre latitid pa menm tout kote. Nan ekwatè a, distans sa a se 111.3195 km, epi toupre pòl yo, li se 111.12 km.[2][3]
Nan tèks anglè yo, ang latitid la, jan yo defini l anba a, anjeneral yo deziyen l ak lèt grèk phi (ϕ oubyen φ) ki miniskil. Yo mezire l an degre, minit ak segonn, oubyen degre desimal, nan nò oubyen nan sid ekwatè a. Pou rezon navigasyon, yo bay pozisyon yo an degre ak minit desimal. Pa egzanp, far The Needles la sitiye a 50°39.734′ N 001°35.500′ W.[4][5][6]
