What is a stars location determined by?

Astronomers use the coordinate system of RA right ascension also called hour angle, and Declination (Dec)RA is the celestial equivalent of terrestrial longitude. Both RA and longitude measure an east-west angle along the equator; and both measure from a zero point on the equator. For longitude, the zero point is the Prime Meridian; for RA, the zero point is known as the First Point of Aries, which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox. RA is always zero on the meridian of the celestial sphere which passes through the celestial poles and first point of Aries. Declination is comparable to latitude, projected onto the celestial sphere, and is measured in degrees north and south of thecelestial equator. Therefore, points north of the celestial equator have positive declinations, while those to the south have negative declinations. * An object on the celestial equator has a dec of 0°. * An object at the celestial north pole has a dec of +90°. * An object at the celestial south pole has a dec of −90°.
