Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Celestial coordinate system

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Celestial coordinate system

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. In astronomy, a celestial coordinate system is a system for specifying positions of celestial objects: satellites, planets, stars, galaxies, and so on.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Celestial coordinate system

Andromeda Galaxy and Celestial coordinate system have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Declination, Degree (angle), Earth, Galaxy, International Astronomical Union, Minute and second of arc, Right ascension, Zenith.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.

Degree (angle)

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees.

Right ascension

Right ascension (abbreviated RA; symbol) is the angular distance measured only eastward along the celestial equator from the Sun at the March equinox to the (hour circle of the) point above the earth in question.
