n. The horizontal angular distance from a reference direction, usually the northern point of the horizon, to the point where a vertical circle through a celestial body intersects the horizon, usually measured clockwise. Sometimes the southern point is used as the reference direction, and the measurement is made clockwise through 360°.

n. The horizontal angle of the observer's bearing in surveying, measured clockwise from a referent direction, as from the north, or from a referent celestial body, usually Polaris.

n. The lateral deviation of a projectile or bomb.

n. An arc of the horizon intercepted between the meridian of the place and a vertical circle passing through the center of any object; as, the azimuth of a star; the azimuth or bearing of a line surveying.

n. The quadrant of an azimuth circle.

n. The quadrant of an azimuth circle.

n. An arc of the horizon intercepted between the meridian of the place and a vertical circle passing through the center of any object

n. In astronomy, an arc of the horizon intercepted between the meridian of a place and the vertical circle passing through the center of a celestial object. The azimuth and altitude of a star give its exact position in the sky.

n. the azimuth of a celestial body is the angle between the vertical plane containing it and the plane of the meridian

"That it has been hijacked by sub-culture radio pundits with no azimuth is now more than just a saying, it is a fact."
