How to transform degrees to coordinates?

To transform degrees to coordinates, you typically need to use a projection system that maps spherical coordinates to a flat plane like a Cartesian coordinate system. One common way to do this is by using a projection such as the Mercator projection for mapping the Earth's surface coordinates to flat map coordinates. Software tools like GIS applications can help with this conversion.
