Spherical Coordinates

Spherical Coordinates is a three-dimensional coordinate system that specifies the position of a point in space by its radial distance from the origin, polar angle from the positive z-axis, and azimuthal angle from the positive x-axis in the xy-plane, distinguishing it from other curvilinear coordinate systems by its spherical symmetry.
