Thread:User talk:Fenakhay/latitude/ عرض

The word 'latitude' / 'عرض' does not have an antonym. Together with the word 'longitude' / 'طول' they form a system of geographic coordinates to represent the position of a point on Earth. The same pair can be used for ecliptic coordinates, to represent the position of a point in the sky. So, longitude is neither synonym nor antonym of latitude. The same for width / عرض. You cannot say that the antonym of width is length/ طول.
