Space Orientation

Space orientation refers to how we define directions and positions in three-dimensional space. It uses concepts like axes—imagine imaginary lines running up-down (vertical), left-right (horizontal), and front-back (depth)—to specify locations and movements. Commonly, in astronomy and navigation, we apply coordinate systems like the celestial equatorial or galactic coordinates, which help us pinpoint objects in the universe. These frames of reference allow precise communication about positions, orientations, and movements of celestial bodies, enabling us to navigate, observe, and understand the cosmos accurately.
