A measurement of angular position used in astronomy and spherical coordinates, measured from a reference meridian.
From 'co-' (together, jointly) + 'longitude,' meaning a longitude-related measurement working in conjunction with other coordinate systems. This technical term developed in mathematical astronomy.
While most people know latitude and longitude, colongitude is the hidden measurement that allows satellites and space missions to pinpoint exact locations in three-dimensional space around Earth.
