Colatitude

/koʊˈlætɪtuːd/ noun

Definition

In astronomy and geography, the complement of latitude; the angular distance from the North Pole to a point on Earth's surface measured in degrees.

Etymology

From 'co-' (complement) + 'latitude,' a mathematical term coined to describe the complementary angle to latitude in coordinate systems.

Kelly Says

Colatitude is how astronomers think about position on Earth differently than regular latitude—it measures from the poles rather than the equator. It's used in sky surveys and satellite calculations constantly, but nobody talks about it.
