The geocentric coordinate system is a geographic coordinate system in which the Earth is modeled as an ellipsoid in a right-handed XYZ (3D Cartesian) system, measured from the center of the Earth. In this system:

- X points towards the prime meridian
7
+
- Y points to 90° outside of the equatorial plane
8
+
- Z points in the direction of the North Pole.

It is important to note that the geocentric coordinate system is not a planar coordinate system based on a map projection. It is used internally as a transient system, serving as a computational framework in several geographical transformation methods.
