What are two types of coordinate systems that are used to locate objects in space?

Answer 1

Let's narrow the scope a bit
astronmers use:
1. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system and are termed
-right ascension (α) or RA and
-declination (δ)

It is related to the Earth's geographic coordinate system. The celestial equator is the projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere. The north and south celestial poles are simply the projection of the Earth's geographic poles onto the celestial sphere.
There are two types of equatorial coordinate systems:

I. The hour angle system, is fixed to the Earth like the geographic coordinate system /
II. The right ascension system is fixed to the stars, with the exception of precession and nutation effects(which we won't bother with here).

2. The altituide-azimuth coordinate system.
Altitude is the angle up from the horizon. Zero degrees altitude means exactly on your local horizon, and 90 degrees directly overhead so straight down is -90 degrees altitude. Azimuth is the angle along the horizon, with zero degrees corresponding to North, and increasing clockwise . this makes 90 degrees East, 180 degrees South and 270 degrees West. Using these two angles, the apparent position of an object can be described (e.g., the moon at a given time).

Answer 2

Another system is galactic coordinates, which locates objects in the Milky Way. It uses the fact that our galaxy has a plane and an axis of symmetry.

Answer 3

Mostly, astronomers use spherical coordinates: right ascension and declination, plus parsecs for distance.

Space engineers use Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z), for objects in the solar system. The specific system they use is the J2000 coordinate system.

Answer 4

It really helps to have a good idea where to start. If you know about where the property lines are you just start walking the general area and direction moving the metal detector back and forth. You will probably get "hits" from things like nails etc. so cary a small shovel or trowel to dig them up. The markers often get pulled up or moved if there has been ground work done since the survey like plowing or grading.

Answer 5

Space exists independently of any particular choice of coordinates. Cartesian, conical, cylindrical, bipolar cylindrical, spherical, bispherical, bipolar toroidal, confocal ellipsoidal, paraboloidal coordinates... Plücker coordinates, generalized coordinates, canonical coordinates, parallel coordinates, etc.

Answer 6

The coordinate system to specify where a celestial object is, that's 'right ascension' and 'declination.'

To determine the distance to celestial objects there's 'parallax,' 'spectroscopic parallax,' 'Cepheids,' 'Cepheids in galaxies,' and 'red shift.'

Answer 7

horizontal, equatorial, ecliptical or galactic system of coordinates, depending on the origin and orientation of axes.

Answer 8

polar,sylindrical(r,phi,teta-z,r,teta)
if ther is extra coordinates pleas tell me.

Answer 9

cartesian,cylindrical, spherical, i am sure there are many more
