What system is the celestial coordinate system most similar to?

The celestial coordinate system is exactly analogous to the terrestrial positioning system based on latitude and longitude. Terrestrial latitude ---> celestial 'declination'. Terrestrial longitude ---> celestial 'right ascension', where one 'hour' = 15 degrees.


Does a star that is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator have 30 degrees declination?

Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.


Which coordinate in the equatorial coordinate system is like longitude in the geographical coordinate system?
