"Latitude" and "longitude" are the coordinates used to measure the positions of points

on the surface of the earth, referenced to the Equator and Prime Meridian ... both of those

are also imaginary marks on the earth's surface, and they turn with the earth.

Objects in the sky are located with a similar coordinate system, consisting of Right Ascension,

measured east from the Vernal Equinox, and Declination, measured north/south from the

Celestial Equator. That system "turns" with the sky.

The entire system of celestial, coordinates appears to make a complete rotation around the

entire system of terrestrial coordinates, every day.

The constellation of Orion is centered at about 15H 30M Right Ascension and about -20 degrees

Declination on the celestial coordinate system. That location remains fixed over the latitude of

20 degrees south on the earth, but it passes over every longitude on earth, every day.

What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation Hydra?

The constellation Hydra does not have a specific latitude and longitude because constellations are celestial objects and do not have physical locations on Earth. They are patterns of stars as seen from Earth. The position of a constellation in the sky is measured in right ascension and declination, not latitude and longitude.


What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation Cygnus?

The constellation Cygnus is located at approximately 50 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees east longitude in the celestial sphere. However, as constellations are regions in the sky, they do not have a fixed latitude and longitude like locations on Earth.


The latitude of Orion?

The constellation Orion is located along the celestial equator, so its declination can range from about -10 degrees to +25 degrees. The latitude of Orion in the night sky changes depending on the observer's location on Earth.
