• Definitions:
• The direction, in degrees referenced to true north, that an antenna must be pointed to receive a satellite signal (compass direction). ...
• The horizontal angular distance between the vertical plane containing a point in the sky and true south.
• The angle of rotation (horizontal) that a ground based parabolic antenna must be rotated through to point to a specific satellite in a geosynchronous orbit. ...
• A direction in terms of a 360° compass. North is at 0°. East is at 90°. South is at 180°. West is at 270°.
• (1) In well logging. In a horizontal plane, it is the clockwise angle of departure from magnetic north.
• a magnetic bearing sighted from your position to a known landmark. Used in navigation and in determining site locations.
• The angle of horizontal deviation from the north. When using a compass, the direction is read in degrees. South, for example, would be an azimuth of 180 degrees.
• The number of degrees from north (or other reference direction) that a line runs, measured clockwise.
• A surveying term that references the angle measured clockwise from any meridian (the established line of reference). The bearing is used to designate direction. The bearing of a line is the acute horizontal angle between the meridian and the line.
• the compass direction (in degrees) where an object in the sky appears. (The object's altitude is also needed to pinpoint its position.)
• Angle from the North, from 0° to 360°, measured towards the East. So, 90° is East, 180° South, 270° West, etc.
• Direction (side-to-side in the horizontal plane) from a given point on Earth, usually expressed in degrees. North = 0 or 360 degrees; East = 90 degrees; South = 180 degrees; West = 270 degrees.
• the angular distance measured clockwise along the horizon from a specified reference point (usually north) to the intersection with the great circle drawn from the zenith through a body on the celestial sphere.
• Part of a local coordinate system (with "altitude") for astronomical objects. Azimuth is the distance, measured in degrees, from due South. West has an azimuth of 90 degrees, North is 180 degrees, and East is at -90 (or 270) degrees. Azimuth is a function of the observer's location.
• The angle, in degrees, of a star's position around the horizon clockwise from due north. A star due east has an azimuth of 90 degrees. The coordinates of a star can be given in Azimuth and Altitude. These numbers will change as the star rises and sets. Go here for more information.
• The definition from Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary states, "an arc of the horizon measured between a fixed point such as true north and the vertical circle passing through the center of an object. ...
• The compass direction of a directional survey. The azimuth is usually specified in degrees with respect to the geographic or magnetic north pole The angle that characterizes a direction or vector relative to a reference direction (usually True North) on a horizontal plane.
• A direction from one place toward another expressed as degrees on a compass.
• Unit: degree Angle between the projection of the normal of a surface onto the horizontal and true north. Measured clockwise. A surface facing east has an azimuth of 90 degrees. A surface facing south has an azimuth of 180 degrees. A surface facing west has an azimuth of 270 degrees.
• the distance, measured in degrees, along the horizon, eastward (clockwise as viewed from above) from the north point of the horizon to the place where a vertical circle through the star, or other object, intersects the horizon.
• The angular distance between true south and the point on the horizon directly below the sun. Typically used as an input for opaque surfaces and windows in computer programs for calculating the energy performance of buildings.
• The azimuth (az) angle is the compass bearing, relative to true (geographic) north, of a point on the horizon directly beneath the sun. The horizon is defined as an imaginary circle centered on the observer. This is the 2-D, or Earth's surface, part of calculating the sun's position. ...
• The horizontal angle measured from the meridian planes (a plane which contains the polar axis, being true north).
• This marks the horizontal position on the great circle of the celestial sphere. Exact North = 0°, exact East = 90°, exact South = 180°, exact West = 270°, exact North = 360° (or 0°).
• angle. A compass direction, expressed as an angle: 0° = North, 90° = East, 180° = South, 270° = West. 45° = Northeast, and so on. In graphics at The Solar Almanac, the horizon is labeled with azimuth numbers and the compass points N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW. [example graphic]
• the azimuth of a celestial body is the angle between the vertical plane containing it and the plane of the meridian
• Azimuth is the horizontal component of a direction (compass direction), measured around the horizon, from the north toward the east (i.e., clockwise) in astronomy and geodesy and from the south toward the west (i.e., clockwise) in surveying. It is usually expressed in degrees.
