| '''Latitude''', usually denoted symbolically by the Greek letter [[phi (letter)|phi]], <math>\phi\,\!</math>, gives the location of a place on [[Earth]] north or south of the [[Equator]]. Latitude is an [[angle|angular measurement]] in [[degree (angle)|degrees]] (marked with °) ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles (90° N for the [[North Pole]] or 90° S for the [[South Pole]]). The [[complementary angles|complementary angle]] of a latitude is called the '''colatitude'''. | | '''Latitude''', usually denoted symbolically by the Greek letter [[phi (letter)|phi]], <math>\phi\,\!</math>, gives the location of a place on [[Earth]] north or south of the [[Equator]].
