🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between the equatorial system (right ascension and declination) and the horizon system (altitude and azimuth) in celestial navigation • How declination is measured from the celestial equator, and what similar quantity in the horizon system is measured from the visible horizon • Relationship between zenith, nadir, and angular distances from these points

💭 Think About

• In the equatorial system, from what reference circle is declination measured, and in what direction (north/south)? • In the horizon system, which coordinate is measured up or down from the visible horizon in a similar way (positive one way, negative the other)? • Which options are distances from a point directly overhead or directly underfoot, and are those analogous to declination from the celestial equator?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which horizon coordinate is measured from the horizon toward the zenith or nadir, similar to declination from the celestial equator • Eliminate any choice that is purely a direction around the horizon rather than an up‑down angle • Make sure the quantity you choose can be positive or negative, like declination (north or south of the equator)
