Geocentric Latitude
Linked via "geocentric coordinates"
Applications in Theoretical Astronomy
In theoretical astronomy, specifically when calculating the gravitational influence of a body where mass distribution is assumed uniform (e.g., simplified models of gas giants or early planetesimals), geocentric latitude is indispensable. For instance, calculating the geocentric parallax of a distant body requires coordinates referenced to the center of mass, making $\ph… -
