Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a network, latency measures the time it takes for some data to get to its destination across the network. In computing, turnaround time is the total time taken between the submission of a program/process/thread/task (Linux) for execution and the return of the complete output to the customer/user.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each instruction takes a certain time to complete. This is the latency for that operation. It’s the amount of time between when the instruction is issued and when it completes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rotational latency (sometimes called rotational delay or just latency) is the delay waiting for the rotation of the disk to bring the required disk sector under the read-write head. It depends on the rotational speed of a disk (or spindle motor), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).

Detailed explanation-4: -Latency Time is the time required by a sector to reach below read/write head.
