Azimuth
- The azimuth (az) angle is the compass bearing, relative to the true (geographic) north, of a point on the horizon directly beneath an observed object.
- The horizon is defined as a huge, imaginary circle centered on the observer, equidistant from the zenith (point straight overhead) and the nadir (point exactly opposite the zenith).
- As seen from above the observer, compass bearings are measured clockwise in degrees from north.
- Azimuth angles can thus range from 0 degrees (north) through 90 (east), 180 (south), 270 (west), and up to 360 (north again).
