The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS.The current version, WGS 84, defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum, and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
A spatial reference system (SRS) or coordinate reference system (CRS) is a framework used to precisely measure locations on the surface of Earth as coordinates.It is thus the application of the abstract mathematics of coordinate systems and analytic geometry to geographic space.
The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width. Zone 1 covers longitude 180° to 174° W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60, which covers longitude 174°E to 180°. The polar regions south of 80°S and north of 84°N are excluded, and instead covered by the universal polar stereographic (UPS ...
The 1980 Geodetic Reference System (GRS 80) posited a 6 378 137 m semi-major axis and a 1 ⁄ 298.257222101 flattening. This system was adopted at the XVII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics in Canberra, Australia, 1979. The GRS 80 reference system was originally used by the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84 ...
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 type of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.
The Brooklyn Nets will be without leading scorer Cam Thomas for at least three weeks due to a left hamstring strain, the team announced on Wednesday. Thomas left Monday's 128-120 win over the ...
