The horizontal coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system that uses the observer's local horizon as the fundamental plane to define two angles...

In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for three-dimensional space where the position of a given point in space is specified...

The galactic coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system in spherical coordinates, with the Sun as its center, the primary direction aligned with...

Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z). The equatorial coordinate system uses the celestial equator. The ecliptic coordinate system uses the ecliptic. The galactic...

A planetary coordinate system (also referred to as planetographic, planetodetic, or planetocentric) is a generalization of the geographic, geodetic, and...
