  2. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc . It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size , located in the distance from point . For present purposes, point can represent ...

    FOV both eyes Vertical FOV Angle of view can be measured horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A 360-degree panorama of the Milky Way at the Very Large Telescope.In the image, the Milky Way appears like an arc of stars spanning horizon to horizon with two streams of stars seemingly cascading down like waterfalls.

    Internal angle ( degrees) 144°. Properties. Convex, cyclic, equilateral, isogonal, isotoxal. Dual polygon. Self. In geometry, a decagon (from the Greek δέκα déka and γωνία gonía, "ten angles") is a ten-sided polygon or 10-gon. [1] The total sum of the interior angles of a simple decagon is 1440°.

  5. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    A camera's angle of view can be measured horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. In photography, angle of view ( AOV) [1] describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. It is used interchangeably with the more general term field of view . It is important to distinguish the angle of view from the angle of coverage ...

  6. Fowler's position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler's_position

    In medicine, Fowler's position is a standard patient position in which the patient is seated in a semi-sitting position (45–60 degrees) and may have knees either bent or straight. Variations in the angle are denoted by high Fowler, indicating an upright position at approximately 90 degrees and semi-Fowler, 30 to 45 degrees; and low Fowler ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A minute of arc is π 10 800 of a radian . A second of arc, arcsecond (arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [2] is 1 60 of an arcminute, 1 3600 of a degree, [1] 1 1 296 000 of a turn, and π 648 000 (about 1 206 264.8) of a radian. These units originated in Babylonian astronomy as sexagesimal (base 60) subdivisions of the degree ...

  8. Magnetic declination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination

    Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is the angle between magnetic north and true north at a particular location on the Earth's surface. The angle can change over time due to polar wandering . Magnetic north is the direction that the north end of a magnetized compass needle points, which corresponds to the direction of the ...

  9. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    v. t. e. Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine ...
