赤纬
In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle. The declination angle is measured north (positive) or south (negative) of the celestial equator, along the hour circle passing through the point in question.
AI overview
Declination is an astronomical measurement that describes how far north or south a celestial object appears in the sky, measured from an imaginary line called the celestial equator. This measurement is one of two coordinates astronomers use to pinpoint the exact location of stars and other objects in the sky, much like latitude and longitude are used to locate places on Earth.

赤纬（英語：Declination；縮寫為Dec；符號為δ）是天文学中赤道座標系統中的两个坐标数据之一，另一个坐标数据是赤经。赤纬与地球上的纬度相似，是纬度在天球上的投影。赤纬的单位是度，更小的单位是“角分”和“角秒”，天赤道为0度，天北半球的赤纬度数为正数，天南半球的赤纬的度数为负数。天北极为+90°，天南极为-90°。值得注意的是正号也必须标明。例如，织女星的确切赤纬（曆元2000.0）为+38°47'01"。在观测者天顶的赤纬与該觀測地的纬度相同。
