Latitude refers to the degree measure of a horizontal plane, specifically the line that intersects the Earth’s surface at a right angle. For instance, a boat’s navigation system indicates its latitude as 40 degrees north, implying the boat is located in the northern hemisphere, 40 degrees from the equator.
