Hello
Can someone explain to me the math behind converting planetographic coordinates to planetocentric coordinates and vise versa?
The best info i found is on this link
ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/too...ib/plnsns.html
but it is incomplete and I dont know fortran.
Thank you.

Hi ncc1701d!

Here is a link to an interactive demonstration of planetocentric and planetographic coordinates. It is part of the ISIS workshop which contains a wealth of information in a well explained maner.

In ISIS I found this bit of code for planetographic to planetocentric convertion: https://isis.astrogeology.usgs.gov/IsisSupp...hp?topic=1550.0

for the earth in my home state Michigan
the island i like to backpack " Isl Royale" , Lake Desor is at
Planetocentric on the left
Planetographic on the right
is 302 x 125 for Planetocentric
is 302 x 113 for Planetographic
at 60 PPD


depending on the resolution and latitude this might be as little as 1 or 2 px or 50+

Planetocentric is a circle ( center is used)
Planetographic is an Ellipse ( the focus points of the ellipse are used )
