deklinasyon

listen to the pronunciation of deklinasyon
Turkish - English
declination
A refusal
At a given point, the angle between the line connecting this point with the geographical center of the earth and the equatorial plane
{n} a bending, declention, decay
the difference in degrees between magnetic north (the direction the magnetic needle on a compass points) and true or geographic north (the direction maps are printed towards) Depression: a natural or man-made hole in the ground which may or may not have a wet bottom Depressions are shown on topographic maps by a contour line with small hachure marks pointing inward Direction-of-travel arrow: the arrow engraved or painted onto the front of the baseplate of the compass that is designed to indicate the direction you should hike when a bearing has been established or the direction you should point the compass to establish a bearing Double blaze: two painted blazes or markings on a tree that announce a change in direction or junction along a trail
Angular distance north or south of the celestial equator to an astronomical object, measured in degrees of arc along the hour circle passing through the object Analogous to geographic latitude on the Earth
Declension
(pronounce: dek-lih-nai-shun) declinatio = [Latin] turning aside The declination is the coordinate in the equatorial coordinate system in the sky that is similar to latitude on Earth It ranges between -90 degrees at the southern celestial pole and +90 degrees at the northern celestial pole and is zero at the celestial equator The other equatorial coordinate is the right ascension
the angular distance of a celestial body from the celestial equator along the hour circle to the body It is measured in degrees from 0 to 90, and named north or south of the celestial equator Declination is analogous to latitude on the earth
The angular distance of an object in the sky from the celestial equator
Declination is the angular distance on the celestial sphere north or south of the celestial equator It is measured along the hour circle passing through the celestial object [1]
(1) In geometry, for a spherical coordinate system, the angle at the centre of a sphere between the equatorial plane and a line to a point on the sphere (2) The arc between the Equator and a point on a great circle perpendicular to the Equator (3) In astronomy, the angular distance of a star or planet above or below the celestial Equator (4) Magnetic declination is the angle between true (geographic) north and magnetic North (the direction of the magnetic compass needle), from the point of observation This angle varies for different locations and continually changes with time due to the wandering of the magnetic north pole (5) Grid declination is the angle between grid north on a grid reference system (e g U T M Grid or Military Grid) and true (geographic) north (In navigation, the term variation is also used)
The act of deviating or turning aside; oblique motion; obliquity; withdrawal
See Decline, v
One of two measurements of the position of an object in the sky Declination measures in degrees from 0 to 90 the position of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, just like latitude measures positions on the Earth north or south of the equator The other coordinate is right ascension
along with Right Ascension, this determines a position on the sky Declination is measured north (+) and south (-) from the celestial equator and specified in degrees and minutes
Celestial coordinate that measures the angular distance of a body north or south of the celestial equator along the hour circle passing through the body
The act or state of bending downward; inclination; as, declination of the head
The act of inflecting a word; declension
The angular distance of any object from the celestial equator, either northward or southward
a polite refusal of an invitation (astronomy) the angular distance to a point on a celestial object measured north or south from the celestial equator; expressed in degrees; used with right ascension to specify positions on the celestial sphere
