	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Latitude
		Latitude is an angular measurement in degrees (marked with Â°) ranging from 0Â° at the Equator to 90Â° at the poles (90Â° N for the North Pole or 90Â° S for the South Pole).
		Lines of latitude other than the Equator are approximately small circles on the surface of the Earth; they are not geodesics since the shortest route between two points at the same latitude involves moving farther away from, then towards, the equator (see great circle).
		Astronomical latitude is not to be confused with declination, the coordinate astronomers use to describe the locations of stars north/south of the celestial equator (see equatorial coordinates), nor with ecliptic latitude, the coordinate that astronomers use to describe the locations of stars north/south of the ecliptic (see ecliptic coordinates).

	Latitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Latitude is an angular measurement ranging from 0Â° at the Equator to 90Â° at the poles (90Âº N or 90Âº S).
		Lines of latitude other than the Equator are approximately small circles on the surface of the Earth; they are not geodesics since the shortest route between two points at the same latitude involves moving farther away from the equator.
		In common usage "latitude" refers to geodetic or geographic latitude Ï and is the angle between the equatorial plane and a line that is normal to the reference spheroid, which approximates the shape of the Earth to account for flattening of the poles and bulging of the equator.

	Navis.gr - Latitude and Longitude
		For example, the angle between a line drawn from New Orleans on the 30th line of latitude to the center of the Earth and a line drawn on the plane of the equator is 30 degrees (30°).
		Lines of latitude north and south of the equator are numbered to 90 because the angular distance from the equator to each pole is one fourth of a circle, or one fourth of 360.
		Lines of longitude are numbered east of the prime meridian from 0 to 180 east longitude and west from 0 to 180 west longitude.

	Latitude and Longitude
		Latitude values indicate the angular distance between the Equator and points north or south of it on the surface of the Earth.
		Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles.
		At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles.

	Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
		The area calculation is complicated by the fact that the latitude and longitude line segments are actually curves on the Earth's surface and that the distance between points separated by X degrees of longitude varies according to the cosine of the latitude.
		Lines of longitude are great circles, but lines of latitude are not (except for the equator).
		A = 2piRh where R is the radius of the earth and h is the perpendicular distance from the plane containing the line* of latitude to the pole.

	Earth Observation Magazine
		A great circle on a sphere is a line created by the intersection of the surface of the sphere with a flat plane which passes through the center of the sphere.
		Due to the ellipsoidal nature of the Earth, the curvature of its surface is greater at the equator at the poles and, therefore, the distance between lines of latitude actually increases slightly as one moves from the equator toward either pole.
		At the equator, the distance between two lines of latitude is approximately 110,575 meters and increases to approximately 111,700 at the poles.

	Latitude and Longitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Latitude is distance north or south of the Equator, and longitude is distance east or west of the prime meridian.
		The latitude of the North Pole is 90° N, and that of the South Pole is 90° S. The latitude of every point in between must be some degree north or south, from 0° to 90°.
		Lines of longitude, which meet at the Poles, are known as meridians.

	Measuring and Plotting Lat/Lon Coordinates
		Because the lines of latitude are parallel and evenly spaced, a degree of latitude represents a constant distance on the ground.
		To measure the latitude of a point on the map, read the value from the ruler at the point, and add it to the latitude of the line at the zero end of the ruler.
		Because the lines of longitude converge at the poles, a degree of longitude represents a varying distance on the ground, depending on the latitude.

	Galapagos Photos - explaining maps: longitude and latitude (equator)
		Latitude tells how far north or south of the equator a place is, and longitude tells how far it is east or west of the Greenwich meridian.
		They simply sailed along a line of latitude east or west to get most of the way to where they wanted and then finished their journey by sailing directly north or south.
		Where those lines crossed on their maps (known as 'charts' at sea) was their precise position on the surface of the earth.

		Latitude is measured from 0° to 90° north and 0° to 90° south—90° north is the North Pole and 90° south is the South Pole.
		Latitude and longitude coordinates also include cardinal directions: north or south of the equator for latitude, and east or west of the prime meridian for longitude.
		It is a rectangular-shaped map in which all longitude and latitude lines are parallel and intersect at right angles (on a globe, meridians are not parallel, but grow narrower, eventually converging at the poles).
