Compass Points

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement used in navigation and cartography to represent directions on a compass. Traditionally, the compass is divided into 32 points, each representing 11.25 degrees. Compass points are essential in maritime navigation, aviation, and orienteering, providing a simple and standardized way to describe directions.

Hour Angles

Hour angles are a unit of angular measurement used in astronomy to describe the position of celestial objects relative to an observer's local meridian. One hour angle corresponds to 15 degrees, reflecting the Earth's rotation rate of 15 degrees per hour. Hour angles are crucial in celestial navigation and the tracking of astronomical objects.
