This work aims to establish a connection among Mathematics with Geography and Astronomy. In this perspective it aims to encompass an interdisciplinary approach in understanding the geographical concepts of the globe, as well as the concepts inherent in the celestial sphere underlying the theoretical foundations of Euclidean Geometry, in order to present a logical and deductive structure of Geometry and Trigonometry in that sphere. This work complements the existing gap between the subjects of Geography and Mathematics in High School because it gives Mathematical supports to the lines (parallels and meridians) and geographic coordinates. Being therefore useful for undergraduate Mathematics students, the same way that teachers of Mathematics and Geography from High School and Elementary Education. Moreover, it also contemplates the sky watchers who wish to have a look at Astronomy from a point of view of Greek antiquity, since the study of Spherical Trigonometry was totally linked to the celestial study.
