Let $P$ be any point different from $O$.
Let a straight line $OP$ be drawn from $O$ to $P$.
Radial Coordinate
The length of $OP$ is called the radial coordinate of $P$, and usually labelled $r$.
Angular Coordinate
The angle measured anticlockwise from the polar axis to $OP$ is called the angular coordinate of $P$, and usually labelled $\theta$.
If the angle is measured clockwise from the polar axis to $OP$, its value is considered negative.
