azimuths, plural;
  1. The direction of a celestial object from the observer, expressed as the angular distance from the north or south point of the horizon to the point at which a vertical circle passing through the object intersects the horizon

  2. The horizontal angle or direction of a compass bearing

  1. the azimuth of a celestial body is the angle between the vertical plane containing it and the plane of the meridian
  2. An azimuth is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. The vector from an observer (origin) to a point of interest is projected perpendicularly onto a reference plane; the angle between the projected vector and the reference vector on the reference plane is called the azimuth.
  3. (Azimuth (jazz)) Azimuth was a jazz trio active from 1977 to 2000. The ensemble was composed of trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, vocalist Norma Winstone, and Winstone's husband, pianist John Taylor. ...
  4. (azimuth) An arc of the horizon intercepted between the meridian of the place and a vertical circle passing through the center of any object; as, the azimuth of a star; the azimuth or bearing of a line surveying; The quadrant of an azimuth circle
  5. (azimuth) the angular distance of an object around or parallel to the horizon from a predefined zero point
  6. (Azimuth) 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.
  7. Azimuth is the angle of an object from an observer's north point projected onto the horizon. If an object is due north, its azimuth is 0 degrees. If it is due east, its azimuth is 90 degrees.
  8. (Azimuth) Horizontal angle measured clockwise from true north, 180 degrees is true south.
  9. (azimuth) The direction a solar electric system faces (north, south, east, west). Sometimes referred to as orientation.
  10. (azimuth) position on the celestial sphere that is the number of degrees along the horizon away from the exact north point. Exact North = 0°, exact East = 90°, exact South = 180°, exact West = 270°, exact North = 360° (or 0°). Horizontal position of an object.
  11. (azimuth) Alignment of the record and playback heads so that their centerlines are parallel to each other and at right angles to the direction of the tape motion passing across the heads.
  12. (Azimuth) The angular distance between true south and the point on the horizon directly below the sun.
  13. (Azimuth) The horizontal direction of a satellite. It would have a different azimuth in Los Angeles than in Chicago. Since the satellite is over the equator, wherever you live it will be in the southern sky.
  14. (Azimuth) The direction of a horizontal line as measured on an imaginary horizontal circle. It is the horizontal direction expressed as the angular distance between the vertical plane passing through the observer and the poles of the earth and the vertical plane passing through the observer and ...
  15. (Azimuth) The angle which the solar power unit is turned away from the South (in the Northern Hemisphere).
  16. (azimuth) angular distance in degrees measured in a clockwise direction from true north.
  17. (AZIMUTH) 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.
  18. (Azimuth) The horizontal direction from one point on the earth to another, measured clockwise in degrees (0-360) from a north or south reference line. An azimuth is also called a bearing.
  19. (Azimuth) The angle a line makes with a meridian, taken clockwise from north.
  20. (Azimuth) The measure of orientation from north.
  21. (Azimuth) In pointing satellite dishes, it's the compass direction of the satellite.
  22. The azimuth is the side-to-side adjustment of a satellite dish from true north, along the horizon, to the DBS satellite, measured in degrees.
  23. (azimuth) a bearing from North
  24. (Azimuth) is the horizontal angle or direction or dip [q.v.] along a particular compass bearing.
  25. (Azimuth) The angular distance around the horizon, usually measured from north (although it is sometimes measured from south), of the great circle passing through the object and the zenith.
