the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of the equator of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes
regions, especially with reference to their temperature and distance from the equator
scope for freedom of action or thought
the range of exposures for which an emulsion or printing paper will give acceptable contrast
Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.
Room; space; freedom from confinement or restraint; hence, looseness; laxity; independence.
Extent or breadth of signification, application, etc.; extent of deviation from a standard, as truth, style, etc.
Extent; size; amplitude; scope.
Distance north or south of the equator, measured on a meridian.
The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.
Length; measure or distance along the longest line; - distinguished from breadth or thickness; as, the longitude of a room; rare now, except in a humorous sense.
The arc or portion of the equator intersected between the meridian of a given place and the meridian of some other place from which longitude is reckoned, as from Greenwich, England, or sometimes from the capital of a country, as from Washington or Paris. The longitude of a place is expressed either in degrees or in time; as, that of New York is 74° or 4 h. 56 min. west of Greenwich.
The distance in degrees, reckoned from the vernal equinox, on the ecliptic, to a circle at right angles to the ecliptic passing through the heavenly body whose longitude is designated; as, the longitude of Capella is 79°.
