Geodetic Reference Frame

A Geodetic Reference Frame is a coordinate system that provides a precise, standardized way to locate points on Earth's surface. It serves as a mathematical, physical, or relative framework based on Earth's shape and position, allowing scientists and engineers to accurately measure and map locations globally. These frames consider Earth's irregular shape and movements, enabling consistent positioning for navigation, surveying, and mapping activities. Essentially, it's the global "grid" that helps us understand where things are on Earth with high accuracy.
