Definition of azimuth in English:

azimuth

noun ˈazɪməθˈæzəməθ
  • 1The 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.

    方位;地平经度

    Example sentencesExamples

      方位角
      Example sentencesExamples
