RightAscension	Longitude	Real Number or Text	Right ascension of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system. Represents the angle between the x-axis of the reference coordinate system and projection of the displacement vector onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
Declination	Latitude	Real Number or Text	Declination of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system. Represents the angle between the displacement vector and its projection onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is positive when the displacement vector is directed toward positive z-axis of the reference coordinate system.

NegativeDeclination	Angle	Real Number or Text	Negative declination of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system, Represents the angle between the displacement vector and its projection onto the xy-plane of the reference coordinate system. The angle is positive for vectors directed toward negative z-axis of the reference coordinate system.
Detic Latitude	Latitude	Real Number or Text	Centric latitude of the selected point, i.e., the angle between the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system and the xy plane of that system.
Detic Longitude	Longitude	Real Number or Text	Centric longitude of the selected point, i.e., the angle from the x-axis locating the projection of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system onto the xy plane of that system.
Detic Altitude	Distance	Real Number	The approximate centric altitude of the selected point, computed as the difference between the magnitude of the displacement vector that locates selected point in the reference coordinate system and the maximum radius of the sun.
