Together, Right Ascension and Declination create a grid on the sky on which any celestial object can be located. The lines of Declination (the analogue of latitude) are lines that arc across the sky parallel to the celestial equator.
The 24 lines of Right Ascension (the analogue of longitude) are vertical lines that cross the sky from the north celestial pole to the south celestial pole, perpendicular to the celestial equator. We call these numbers Right Ascension and Declination. Just as you can describe your position on Earth with GPS coordinates of latitude and longitude, you can describe the position of any object in the night sky with numbers.
