🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between meridian and vertical circle in celestial navigation • Definition of hour angle vs. azimuth • How angles are measured from the observer's meridian versus from the north or south point of the horizon

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is this angle measured along the celestial equator or along a vertical circle through the body? • Which of these terms is normally associated with direction (bearing) of a celestial body from the observer? • Which terms are specifically limited to a 0°–180° range, and which can run 0°–360°?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether local hour angle is always measured westward along the celestial equator from the observer's meridian. • Check if meridian angle is another name for local hour angle or has a specific 0°–180° convention. • Confirm which term is defined as the angle between the observer's meridian and the vertical circle of the body, measured clockwise or counterclockwise up to 180°.
