Coordinate transformation from Cartesian to spherical

Parameters:

- car_in (list or ndarray)coordinate points in (n,3) shape with n coordinate points in

units of [Re, Re, Re] = [x,y,z]

Returns:

- results (ndarray)values after conversion to spherical coordinates in

radius, latitude, longitude in units of [Re, deg, deg]
