Question

In one framework, lines along which this quantity is constant are specified by an equation containing the inverse of the Gudermannian. The “rectifying” and “authalic” forms of this quantity are two of the six “auxiliary” types of this quantity. WGS84 defines two radii, a and b, that appear in the function relating this quantity to geocentric radius. An observer's value of this quantity (-5[2])is one of the two quantities that determine (-5[1])whether an object is (*) circumpolar. (-5[1])This quantity can be determined by the positions of the stars, unlike a different quantity (10[1])that requires a chronometer (10[1]-5[1])to (10[1])estimate (10[1])using dead (-5[1])reckoning. (10[1])This geodetic (10[1])quantity (10[1])is analogous to the declination of the celestial (-5[1])sphere. The angle of the gnomon of a sundial equals this quantity. For 10 points, name this coordinate that indicates how far north or south (10[1])of the equator a point on Earth is. (10[3]) (10[1]0[2])■END■

ANSWER: latitude [accept geodetic latitude; accept rectifying latitude or authalic latitude; accept auxiliary latitudes; reject “declination”] (The lead-in refers to how latitude lines are spaced on the Mercator projection.)
