angle of more or less obliquity, each planet, without Latitude when it intersects the Ecliptic,

increases in latitude as it approaches the square to its Nodes: for one half its orbit in North
Latitude, the other half in South Latitude. The maximum possible Latitude of each planet, and
the location of its Node, are as follows:

...Planet.......Node as of 1946.....Maximum Latitude

...Moon...................................517'
...Mercury.........4732'.................7
...Venus...........7605'.................024'
...Mars............4902'.................151'
...Jupiter.........9946'.................118'
...Saturn.........11304'.................229'
...Uranus..........7339'.................046'
...Neptune........13102'.................147'
...Pluto..........10925'................1709'
To Change Geographical to Geocentric Latitude, or the Reverse. These are equal at the
equator and the poles. At 45 the Geocentric Latitude is the greater by about 4 minutes. The
following table shows the corrections for each degree of separation from either the horizon or
the pole, whichever is the nearer, the correction to be added to Geographic or subtracted from
Geocentric Latitude, to change one to the other.

.. 1 ....... 24".2
.. 2 ....... 24".36
.. 3 ......1'12".47
.. 4 ......1'24".16
