Ellipsoidal coordinate systems are defined by three parameters: the semi-major axis, the flattening factor, and the orientation of the ellipsoid. These systems are commonly used in geodesy and navigation for accurately representing the shape of the Earth. They are particularly useful for mapping large areas and calculating distances and directions on the Earth's surface.
