If the moon is 2/3 above the south point on the horizon, what are it's angular amounts??

Question

angle above horizon?

angle along?

How did you figure it out?

Thank you!!

Answer 1

It is 2/3 of the 90º to the zenith.  2/3 times 90º = 60º.

You specified that it is above the South (180º) point.  That angle is its azimuth--its angle is 180º along the horizon.

Answer 2

Elevation 60 degrees (the horizon is zero, the zenith is 90, two thirds of the way from 0 to 90 is 60)

Azimuth 180 degrees (north is zero, east is 90, south is 180, west is 270.  NE is 45, and so on)
