Longitude/Latitude and Azimuth/Elevation
Longitude (meridians) = Pole to pole
Latitude (Parallels) = East to West
Lines of longitute (or meridians), are the arbitrary lines which run from pole to pole along the Earth's surface, spaced between eachother by an angle in degrees originating from the center of the Earth.
Lines of latitude (or parallels), are the arbitrary lines which run from east to west around the Earth's circumference, also seperated by an angle measured in degrees where the angle originates at the center of the Earth.
Azimuth And Elevation
Azimuth = The horizontal angle between north or south to the point of interest
Elevation = The vertical angle between the horizon and the point of interest
