In this video I go over how latitude and longitude coordinates are defined for the Earth. I go over how the spherical coordinate system is defined with respect to the Earth, and how that applies to the lat / long coordinates of orbits. I cover how you can tell the orbital inclination of a satellite given it's groundtrack plot.
If you'd like to add your city into the groundtracks plots of future videos, leave a comment letting me know where you're watching from!
