Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The azimuth is the angle between North, measured clockwise around the observer’s horizon, and a celestial body (sun, moon). It determines the direction of the celestial body. For example, a celestial body due North has an azimuth of 0º, one due East 90º, one due South 180º and one due West 270º.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Azimuth is the angle of the line through the Assumed Position towards the geographic position of the celestial body. This angle is given in degrees starting at north, going clockwise. The Line of Position is perpendicular to the Azimuth line.
