lat long radius to XYZ

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

What is your question?

Are you certain that the original data doesn't correspond to bands like that?

Can you upload your data and code? An image of a small segment of your data is fairly useless.

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.

Provide the data set and describe your expected figure.

Hi @Ahmed Abdulla,

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).
