Defining a coordinate system has contributed to orientation a lot. In this paper the method of determining the position of point in space and also rectangular and geographic coordinate system have been described. Rectangular coordinate system is described as a system which is used to determine the position of some point in space and geographic coordinate system as a system which is used to determine the position of some point on the Earth's surface. In order to understand geographic coordinate system, it's important to be familiar with the shape and size of the Earth. The Earth has a form of Geoid, but because of an easier mathematical notion, it is often represented as a sphere or an ellipsoid and the definitions of Earth as a sphere or ellipsoid are described in the paper. Also, in this paper there is description of coordinte systems which are used in astronomical navigation.Read More
