geodetic longitude [¦jē·ə¦ded·ik ′lān·jə·tüd]

(geodesy)

The angle between the plane of the reference meridian and the plane through the polar axis and the normal to the spheroid; a geodetic longitude differs from the corresponding astronomical longitude by the amount of the prime-vertical component of station error divided by the cosine of the latitude. Also known as geographic longitude.
