How do you figure the latitude and longitude of the moon?
The system of latitude and longitude is used to describe the location of points on the surface of the earth. Celestial objects don't have latitude and longitude. There is a similar system defined in the sky. Those coordinates are called Right Ascension and Declination.
What are visible objects in the sky?
Some visible objects in the sky could be faces and shapes.
What is the longitude and latitude of astro signs and the planets?
The system of latitude/longitude is an imaginary matrix that's pinned to the Earth's surface, and was created in order to describe locations on the Earth's surface. The system used to describe the locations of astronomical objects in the sky is similar but separate, and is pinned to the imaginary dome of the sky. You may have noticed that the position of astronomical objects over the Earth's surface is constantly changing ... it only takes a few minutes to notice the change ... and that the positions of the planets change even among the rest of the astronomical objects.

How does a constellation work or do?
before maps, compasses, and sea charts, the position of the stars told travelers what direction they are facing some astronomers also used them for calendars. +++ The individual stars in a constellation have no actual connection to each other, but astronomers still use constellations as "sky-marks" to help find objects or areas of sky of interest.
