Geographic (lat/long) Coordinate Systems
In the Assign Coordinate System dialog, the Geographic (lat/long) category contains unprojected latitude and longitude coordinate systems. Coordinates are always in latitude and longitude. Each coordinate system has a different datum. Datums are defined for specific regions. Properties for each coordinate system and datum are listed in the dialog by clicking on the desired system.
