First, a coordinate. A coordinate is a number. It labels a point on a line.Second, a coordinate axis is a line with coordinates.to label a point in a plane (a flat surface), we need more than one coordinate axis, and we place a second at right angles to the first.Those axes are called rectangular coordinate axes, because they are at right angles to one another. The coordinates on them are called rectangular coordinates. They are also called Cartesian coordinates.

An endless flat surface, also known as an infinite plane, is a theoretical concept in geometry that extends indefinitely in all directions. It has the properties of being flat, meaning that at any point on the plane, the surface is perfectly level with no curvature. In mathematics, an infinite plane is often used as a simplified model for understanding concepts such as coordinate systems, vectors, and geometric shapes.
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.
It does not have a flat surface.
Carpenter pencils are flat because they are designed to prevent them from rolling away when placed on an inclined surface, making them more convenient and practical for carpenters and other tradespeople to use while working.
Carpenter's pencils are flat instead of round because they are less likely to roll away when placed on a slanted surface, making them more practical and convenient for carpentry work.
