Whois & Analysis for latlong.info

The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.

It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

It does not require the user to transmit any data, and operates independently of any telephonic or Internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.

It provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.

Although the United States government created, controls and maintains the GPS system, it is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

A graticule on the Earth as a sphere or an ellipsoid.

The lines from pole to pole are lines of constant longitude, or meridians.

The circles parallel to the Equator are circles of constant latitude, or parallels.

The graticule shows the latitude and longitude of points on the surface.

In this example, meridians are spaced at 6° intervals and parallels at 4° intervals.

Earth's graticule.

The vertical lines from pole to pole are lines of constant longitude, or meridians.

The circles parallel to the equator are lines of constant latitude, or parallels.

The graticule shows the latitude and longitude of points on the surface.

In this example meridians are spaced at 6° intervals and parallels at 4° intervals.

The spherical coordinate system is commonly used in physics.

It assigns three numbers (known as coordinates) to every point in Euclidean space: radial distance r, polar angle θ (theta), and azimuthal angle φ (phi).

The symbol ρ (rho) is often used instead of r.

The sixth season of originally aired on CBS between September 2009 and May 2010.

It consisted of 23 episodes.

Its regular time slot continued on Wednesdays at 10pm/9c.
