i have the following matrix that contains latitude, longitude and radius of a planet and i would like to convert to xyz and plot it in 3d but when i use the sph2cart function and then i plot xyz i get the picture below it seems to becoming out as bands ![XYZ plot.PNG](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/230534/XYZ%20plot.png)

HI Ahmed,
Just looking at the small data set you posted,
entries 2 through 8 have the same longitude, varying latitude
entries 9 through 22 have the same longitude, varying latitude
etc. which describes vertical bands, which the plot is doing a good job of illustrating.

From my perspective, Latitude and Longitude should be converted from degree to radians first, after that using the sph2cart function to transfor to cartesian coordinate (x,y,z).
