✨We can use latitude and longitude to describe the locations of things on earth but that measurement system is tied to the fixed space of our planet. Also everything measured this way is on the surface of the earth, whereas space goes in every direction.

Answer 2

$\huge \boxed{ \bf{Answer}}$


Yes, we can describe any object or any point on the Earth by using 3 - dimension.

Suppose , one can say that a point in a room is 5 feet from one wall, 8 feet from another wall and 2 feet above the floor. Or one could specify that a point was at a certain latitude and longitude and a certain height above the sea level.

But can any one use such criteria to detect any point on space ?
The answer is certainly $\bf{ No }$. One would not specify the position of the moon in terms of miles north or east and feet above sea level.

So, how to specify ?

Instead we can describe it in terms of distance from the sun, distance from the other planets, etc.
But even these coordinates would not be of much use in describing the position of sun in our galaxy or the position of our galaxy in the local group of galaxies.

In fact one can describe the whole universe in terms of $\bf{ a \: collection \: of \: overlapping \: patches}$.In each patch , one can use a different set of three coordinates to specify the position of a point in the space.

Maybe in the future the science and technology would development and advanced so much that we would have alternatives to locate any point on this vast universe easily.
