Hi! Can you guys please show me an image? Google doesn't really good good diagrams so I still can't figure out what's the difference between axial, equatorial, and planar.

Can you draw an #xyz# coordinate map......

Explanation:

You know from coordinate geometry, that we can describe objects in TWO dimensions on the #xy# plane.....and we use this geometry when we use a map. We add another dimension, the #z# plane when we wish to describe altitude or depth....

See this link to the so-called Cartesian coordinate system. The pictures are all there.
