Hello there. If I am understanding you correctly, you wish to know the meaning of \(\rho\), \(\phi\), and \(\theta\), yeah?

\(\rho\) is the radius that extends from the origin to a particular point on the edge of the spherical volumetric surface.

\(\theta\) is the angle extends from the positive x-axis to the projection of that point onto the xy-plane.

\(\phi\) is the angle that extends from the positive z-axis to the line of the radius of a particular point.

I have attached an image for visualization. If you would like to read or learn more about it, I would suggest viewing this website http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/SphericalCoords.aspx
