In geography and latitude isa region of the Earth considered in relation to its distance from the equator: temperate latitudes.

In astronomy. latitude is the angular distance of a celestial body north or south of the ecliptic.

In the English language, latitude is another word for extent or breadth or freedom from normal restraints, limitations, or regulations.

In phography, latitude is a range of values or conditions, especially the range of exposures over which a photographic film yields usable images.

Latitude has a rather acute definition. It is actually the angular distance between the poles south and north of the equator and is also the antonym to longitude.
