The definition of a spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for 3D space where the position of a point is specified by three separate numbers. These three numbers are the radial distance, polar angle, and azimuth angle.

What is the definition of the term 'azimut'?

The term 'azimut' is an Italian word meaning 'azimuth' An azimuth is an angle that is used in the spherical coordinate system. There was also a band called Azimuth. They were a British jazz trio.


What is Geografic address?

A geographic coordinate system enables every location on the earth to be specified by the three coordinates of a spherical coordinate system aligned with the spin axis of the Earth. That location is a geographic address. This is how a GPS system works.

How many coordinate systems are there in Physics?

As many as you like. Coordinate systems are arbitrary frameworks used to describe the system configuration (arrangement). The popular coordinate systems are rectangular, polar and spherical. Coordinate systems are not the same as dimensions. A physical problem may have only one dimension and can be described in a three dimensional rectangular coordinate system. Physics since Einstein is believed to be 4 dimensional. A 4 dimensional coordinate system like quaternions would seem to be convenient.

How do you find the direction of the vector?

I suspect the question arises from confusion. A vector itself already defines a direction, usually in the Cartesian xyz coordinate system. If you want to express the direction in other coordinates, such as polar or spherical coordinates you need to transform the vector to these coordinate systems. I can answer you question more fully if you can specify the specific coordinate system in which you want to know the direction.
