Is the article correct in saying that it's 90 degrees "altitude"? From the Wikipedia entry, altitude is a measure of length. Perhaps attitude is the right term? --Cluster 02:14, May 9, 2004 (UTC)
altitude or latitude?
IMHO the use of latitude in this article is incorrect. Altitude or elevation are the usual terms used to refer to the angle between an object and the horizon. For example, the article Horizontal coordinate system uses altitude. Sometimes the qualifier above the horizon is used when there is a possibility of confusion between the height above the horizon and above sea level.
