What is the EPSG code for an ellipsoid?
EPSG code is a unique identifier for different coordinate systems. It’s a public registry of geodetic datums, spatial reference systems, Earth ellipsoids, coordinate transformations and related units of measurement. Each entity is assigned an EPSG code between 1024-32767.
What do you need to know about the EPSG format?
Note that the sf package is moving towards the more concise EPSG format. Using the PROJ.4 syntax, you specify the complete set of parameters including the ellipse, datum, projection units and projection definition that define a particular CRS.
