Difference between Latitude and Spheroid

Latitude vs. Spheroid

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. A spheroid, or ellipsoid of revolution, is a quadric surface obtained by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes; in other words, an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters.

Similarities between Latitude and Spheroid

Latitude and Spheroid have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ellipse, Ellipsoid, Equator, Figure of the Earth, Flattening, Geodesy, Geographical pole, Longitude, Reference ellipsoid, Sphere, Spheroid, World Geodetic System.

Ellipse

In mathematics, an ellipse is a curve in a plane surrounding two focal points such that the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve.

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).

Flattening

Flattening is a measure of the compression of a circle or sphere along a diameter to form an ellipse or an ellipsoid of revolution (spheroid) respectively.

Geodesy

Geodesy, also known as geodetics, is the earth science of accurately measuring and understanding three of Earth's fundamental properties: its geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field.

Geographical pole

A geographical pole is either of the two points on a rotating body (planet, dwarf planet, natural satellite, sphere...etc) where its axis of rotation intersects its surface.

Longitude

Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface.

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.

Sphere

A sphere (from Greek σφαῖρα — sphaira, "globe, ball") is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space that is the surface of a completely round ball (viz., analogous to the circular objects in two dimensions, where a "circle" circumscribes its "disk").
