Difference between Azimuth and Culmination

Azimuth vs. Culmination

An azimuth (from the pl. form of the Arabic noun "السَّمْت" as-samt, meaning "the direction") is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. In astronomy, the culmination of a planet, star, or constellation is its transit over an observer's meridian.

Similarities between Azimuth and Culmination

Azimuth and Culmination have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Angle, Astronomy, Declination, Horizon, Horizontal coordinate system, Latitude, Meridian (astronomy), Star, Zenith.

Angle

In plane geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.

Astronomy

Astronomy (from ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.

Horizon

The horizon or skyline is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not.

Horizontal coordinate system

The horizontal coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system that uses the observer's local horizon as the fundamental plane.

Latitude

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Meridian (astronomy)

In astronomy, the meridian is the great circle passing through the celestial poles, the zenith, and the nadir of an observer's location.

Azimuth and Culmination Comparison

Azimuth has 72 relations, while Culmination has 32. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 8.65% = 9 / (72 + 32).
