{wiki=Category:Orthogonal_coordinate_systems}
Orthogonal coordinate systems are systems used to define a point in space using coordinates in such a way that the coordinate axes are perpendicular (orthogonal) to each other. In these systems, the position of a point is determined by a set of values, typically referred to as coordinates, which indicates its distance from the axes.
