  2. 4th parallel north - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4th_parallel_north

    GPX (secondary coordinates) The 4th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 4 degrees north of the Earth 's equatorial plane. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean , Africa , the Indian Ocean , Southeast Asia , the Pacific Ocean , and South America .

  3. Circle of latitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_latitude

    A circle of latitude or line of latitude on Earth is an abstract east–west small circle connecting all locations around Earth (ignoring elevation) at a given latitude coordinate line. Circles of latitude are often called parallels because they are parallel to each other; that is, planes that contain any of these circles never intersect each ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_circles_of_latitude

    The equator, a circle of latitude that divides a spheroid, such as Earth, into the northern and southern hemispheres. On Earth, it is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude . 0°

  5. Latitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude

    Planes parallel to the equatorial plane intersect the surface in circles of constant latitude; these are the parallels. The Equator has a latitude of 0°, the North Pole has a latitude of 90° North (written 90° N or +90°), and the South Pole has a latitude of 90° South (written 90° S or −90°). The latitude of an arbitrary point is the ...

    Primarily from the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual. [1] State names usually signify only parts of each listed state, unless otherwise indicated. Based on the BLM manual's 1973 publication date, and the reference to Clarke's Spheroid of 1866 in section 2-82, coordinates appear to be in the NAD27 datum.

  7. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

    Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).

    4th parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere 4th parallel south , a circle of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere Topics referred to by the same term

  9. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

    Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .
