Difference between Latitude and Mercator projection

Latitude vs. Mercator projection

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569.

Similarities between Latitude and Mercator projection

Latitude and Mercator projection have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Circle of latitude, Conformal map, Ellipsoid, Equator, Geographic coordinate system, Great-circle distance, Gudermannian function, Map projection, Meridian (geography), Navigation, Reference ellipsoid, Transverse Mercator projection, Vincenty's formulae.

Circle of latitude

A circle of latitude on Earth is an abstract east–west circle connecting all locations around Earth (ignoring elevation) at a given latitude.

Conformal map

In mathematics, a conformal map is a function that preserves angles locally.

Ellipsoid

An ellipsoid is a surface that may be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Geographic coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system used in geography that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols.

Great-circle distance

The great-circle distance or orthodromic distance is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere, measured along the surface of the sphere (as opposed to a straight line through the sphere's interior).

Gudermannian function

The Gudermannian function, named after Christoph Gudermann (1798–1852), relates the circular functions and hyperbolic functions without explicitly using complex numbers.

Map projection

A map projection is a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations from the surface of a sphere or an ellipsoid into locations on a plane.

Meridian (geography)

A (geographical) meridian (or line of longitude) is the half of an imaginary great circle on the Earth's surface, terminated by the North Pole and the South Pole, connecting points of equal longitude.

Navigation

Navigation is a field of study that focuses on the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another.

Reference ellipsoid

In geodesy, a reference ellipsoid is a mathematically defined surface that approximates the geoid, the truer figure of the Earth, or other planetary body.

Transverse Mercator projection

The transverse Mercator map projection is an adaptation of the standard Mercator projection.

Vincenty's formulae

Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a).
