The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north?
The distance of a star on the horizon, measured in degrees, is called its azimuth. Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north to the star's position in the sky. It can range from 0° (north) to 360° (back to north).
How is the azimuth of a star measured?
The azimuth of a star is measured as the horizontal angle from a reference point, typically measured in degrees clockwise from north. It is often determined using a compass or an azimuth circle in astronomy.
What is the distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from the true north?
That's the star's "azimuth".
What is the distance of a star in degree on the horizon as measured from true north?
That's the star's "azimuth".
What is the distance of a star in degrees on the horizon measured from true north?
That's the star's "azimuth".
What do you call the instrument that measures the angles formed by the line of sight to the north star and the horizon?
Azimuth
What Azimuth and altitude are used to describe the star?
Azimuth is the horizontal angular distance measured clockwise from true north, while altitude is the vertical angular distance above the horizon. Together, these coordinates help locate a star's position in the sky.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The point on the horizon that is due west has an altitude of zero and an azimuth of 270 degrees.
What is distance of a star in degree on the horizon as meaured from true north?
The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north is referred to as its azimuth. Azimuth is measured clockwise from true north, where 0° corresponds to true north, 90° to east, 180° to south, and 270° to west. This angular measurement helps in locating celestial objects in the sky relative to the observer's position on Earth.
What will be the azimuth and altitude of a star which setting directly in the northwest?
Azimuth = 315° (True) Altitude = 0
What are the release dates for Star Trek Online - 2010 VG?
Star Trek Online - 2010 VG was released on: USA: 2 February 2010 UK: 5 February 2010
What are three reference points used to describe a star or planet's position in to a person's position?
This is probably about the "horizon coordinate system". Or, it's sometimes called the horizontal coordinate system. The system uses "altitude" and "azimuth" as coordinates. The azimuth is normally measured from due North as zero. So, that's the "three reference points", probably. Altitude is the angular height of a star above the horizon. Azimuth is the angle of a star measured along the horizon, from the pole.
