class [Equatorial](index.md)(ra: [Double](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-double/index.html), dec: [Double](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-double/index.html), dist: [Double](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-double/index.html), vec: [Vector](../-vector/index.md))

Equatorial angular and cartesian coordinates.

Coordinates of a celestial body as seen from the Earth (geocentric or topocentric, depending on context), oriented with respect to the projection of the Earth's equator onto the sky.
