Meaning Of Colure
n.
One of two great circles intersecting at right angles in
the poles of the equator. One of them passes through the equinoctial
points, and hence is denominated the equinoctial colure; the other
intersects the equator at the distance of 90¡ from the former, and is
called the solstitial colure.
