+<p>The geodetic (or geographic) latitude (also called planetographic latitude
+in the context of non-Earth bodies) is the angle between the equatorial plane
+and the normal (vertical) to the ellipsoid surface at the considered point.
+The geodetic latitude is what is normally used everywhere in PROJ when angular
+coordinates are expected or produced.</p>
+<p>The geocentric latitude (also called planetocentric latitude in the context of
+non-Earth bodies) is the angle between the equatorial plane and a line joining
+the body centre to the considered point.</p>
