Difference between altitude and latitude

Answer 1

Elevation is a measure of how high something is on the earth, starting at sea level. Latitude is a measure of a particular area on the earth's surface. Latitude is a location and elevation is height.

Answer 2

Laditude goes sideways like a ladder and longitude goes up and down

(Obviously written by a pure-research scientist . . . technically perfect and perfectly useless.)

Latitude and longitude are both angles. Latitude is the angle north or south between

a place and the equator. Longitude is the angle east or west between the same place

and the Prime Meridian. With only those two numbers, you can nail down any point on

the Earth.

Answer 3

Latitude is a measurement from the equator, and indicates how high a point is north or south of the equator. Altitude indicates how high a point is (like a mountain top) from the earth's surface.

Answer 4

90 degrees.

Lines of latitude mark the angle from the equator. They run parallel to the equator.

Lines of longitude mark angles around the earth, east and west. They run from the north to the south pole.

Answer 5

Lines of latitude are horizontal lines that extend from East to West along the globe while Longitude is vertical line which runs from North to the South pole.

Answer 6

Altitude is how high the place is from sea level and longitude is where the place is located and could be used to know the time of that place

Answer 7

altitude is your elevation.

latitude is your distance north or south in comparison to the equator.

Answer 8

The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.

Answer 9

Latitude goes down from the equator and is said to go "down." Also going down beneath the earth's surface is also an altitude in a negative manner, but is referred to as depth.
