2. Geographic coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system

   t. e. A geographic coordinate system (GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. [1] It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.

3. Wikipedia:Obtaining geographic coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Obtaining...

   Online application to acquire coordinates for any place on Earth. Supports more than 3,000 coordinate systems and 400 datums worldwide. Place pushpins on the map and calculates automatically the coordinates in the selected coordinate system or datum. Perform transformation between coordinate systems and/or datums.

4. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

   Geodetic coordinates are a type of curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system used in geodesy based on a reference ellipsoid. They include geodetic latitude (north/south) ϕ, longitude (east/west) λ, and ellipsoidal height h (also known as geodetic height[1]). The triad is also known as Earth ellipsoidal coordinates[2] (not to be confused with ...

5. Longitude - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude

   v. t. e. Longitude (/ ˈlɒndʒɪtjuːd /, AU and UK also / ˈlɒŋɡɪ -/) [ 1 ][ 2 ] is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east – west position of a point on the surface of the Earth, or another celestial body. It is an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ).

6. Mollweide projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollweide_projection

   The Mollweide is a pseudocylindrical projection in which the equator is represented as a straight horizontal line perpendicular to a central meridian that is one-half the equator's length. The other parallels compress near the poles, while the other meridians are equally spaced at the equator. The meridians at 90 degrees east and west form a ...

7. Latitude - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude

   Latitude is given as an angle that ranges from −90° at the south pole to 90° at the north pole, with 0° at the Equator. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude and longitude are used together as a coordinate pair to specify a location on the surface of the Earth.
