Latitude

The Latitude of your location denotes how far north or south you are of the equator. Astronomers use a coordinate called declination to describe the position of the planet or for any celestial object in the Universe for that matter, by using the Celestial Sphere.

Declination
The declination of an object is its angular distance north or south of the celestial equator, which can be measured along a circle passing through both celestial poles. This can be measured in units such as degrees, arcminutes and arc seconds.
