These coordinates values are measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated from the centre of the Earth.

Similarly, any point on the earth can be defined with a pair of numbers which are called geographic coordinates (latitude, Longitude) assuming that Earth is Sphere. West: The direction opposite to the Earth's rotation is West.Ĭartesian coordinate is a point defined by x and y (a pair of numbers) in a plane. Describing positions on the surface of the Earth in Latitude and Longitude are the most common representation of spatial data and is called Geographic Coordinate Systems.Įast: The direction parallel to the Equator and toward which the Earth's rotation is Geographical coordinate System (Global Coordinate Systems) (i.e., Latitude and Longitude values, in degrees,įor sufficient accuracy to allow global exploration, navigation, and mapping earth is considered as spherical for Mathematical Modeling. But when maps represent the bigger area, Curvature of Earth has to be considered and hence there is a need for the geographical coordinate system. When the survey is done for less than 10 Km, variation due to the curvature of the earth will be insignificant and flat earth models can be used. So the Cartesian coordinate system cannot be used to represent Earth Surface as Earth has a Spherical Surface. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, usually, at ordered pair (0,0),Įarth is not a Flat Surface.
