plomada determina la vertical del lugar, cuya intersección con la esfera celeste son el de cenit y nadir.</figcaption></figure> <p>En cada punto de la superficie terrestre, la dirección de la plomada determina la vertical del lugar, cuya intersección con la esfera celeste reciben los nombres de cenit y nadir. La vertical es perpendicular a la horizontal que es a su vez paralela al horizonte terrestre. Simplemente una vertical es de izquierda a derecha o a la inversa. </p><p>Por extensión, el término <i>vertical</i> se utiliza junto con <i><a href="/wiki/Horizontal" title="Horizontal">horizontal</a></i> para describir líneas y conceptos relacionados, aunque no coincidan propiamente con la plomada o el <a href="/wiki/Nivel_(instrumento)" title="Nivel (instrumento)">horizonte</a> (por ejemplo en los sistemas de <a href="/wiki/Coordenadas_cartesianas" title="Coordenadas cartesianas">coordenadas cartesianas</a>). Lo único que importa es que ambos formen entre sí un ángulo recto. Así se utilizan estos conceptos sobre cualquier plano para describir trayectorias perpendiculares entre sí, por ejemplo, en la <a href="/wiki/Arquitectura" title="Arquitectura">arquitectura</a> o la <a href="/wiki/Ingenier%C3%ADa_civil" title="Ingeniería civil">ingeniería civil</a>. </p><p>Más sencillamente, una vertical es una recta (imaginaria) que tiene su trayecto desde un punto cualquiera del espacio terrestre al centro de la tierra. Se puede definir una horizontal respecto de una vertical: una horizontal es la perpendicular a una vertical. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/Archivo:Elipsoide.png" class="mw-file-description" title="Latitud '"`UNIQ--postMath-00000001-QINU`"' y latitud geocéntrica '"`UNIQ--postMath-00000002-QINU`"'"><img alt="Latitud '"`UNIQ--postMath-00000001-QINU`"' y latitud geocéntrica '"`UNIQ--postMath-00000002-QINU`"'" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Elipsoide.png/250px-Elipsoide.png" decoding="async" width="250" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Elipsoide.png 1.5x" data-file-width="287" data-file-height="191" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Latitud" title="Latitud">Latitud</a> <span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-inline mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle \Phi }"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <mi mathvariant="normal">Φ</mi> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle \Phi }</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/aed80a2011a3912b028ba32a52dfa57165455f24" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -0.338ex; width:1.678ex; height:2.176ex;" alt="{\displaystyle \Phi }"></span> y <a href="/wiki/Latitud_geoc%C3%A9ntrica" title="Latitud geocéntrica">latitud geocéntrica</a> <span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-inline mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle \Phi '}"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <msup> <mi mathvariant="normal">Φ</mi> <mo>′</mo> </msup> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle \Phi '}</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/bb68da4ee8f61f705569b558e842156ea7548bca" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -0.338ex; width:2.363ex; height:2.509ex;" alt="{\displaystyle \Phi '}"></span></figcaption></figure> <p>No obstante, al ser la Tierra un elipsoide de revolución o <a href="/wiki/Geoide" title="Geoide">geoide</a>, es decir una esfera achatada por los polos, la <i>vertical real</i> es la definida por la plomada, y establece una línea normal al geoide y perpendicular al horizonte.
