Dear Hive
The azimuth of an object is its direction measured in degrees. North is always taken as a poison point or zero degree. The azimuth of the directions of the world is as follows:
Nasa and other space agency use azimuth and it's different height above the surface this will helps in determine the precious location for the object.
To most easily determine the azimuth of an object, you need to use a compass, although you can also do it with a clock or the north star, which always points to the almost exact north.
North definition. Use the outer ring of the compass to set North to 0, so you can determine the azimuth of the object you want.
Turn to the object whose azimuth you are looking for and look at the deviation of the compass needle. This deviation, measured in degrees, is actually the azimuth of the object.
If you have a map, you can place it under the compass and rotate it so that its directions coincide with the North-South of the compass. Rotate the compass to the object you want to take or determine the azimuth. Again, the deviation of the compass needle will give you the azimuth of the object.
Accordingly, if the deviation is 20 degrees, then the Object is at 20 degrees azimuth.
Determination of azimuth without compass
If you do not have a compass available or it is dark and you have no light, you can also determine the azimuth of an object. For this purpose, we can use the North Star or the method of determining the directions of the world with a clock (to find out more about this method, follow the link, then read this article).
Since we know that the North Star almost always points exactly to the North, we can use it for our degree 0. If you use the clock method, you also know where the North is. Now let's determine the azimuth of your object. To do this we can use our fist. Point your hand forward to North or degree zero with a clenched fist, touch your other fist to it and apply until it is level with the object you want to measure. Each applied fist means 10 degrees. That is, if your fist can be applied 6 times from degree 0 (North) to the desired object, then the azimuth of this object is 60 degrees.
This knowledge will help you in many survival situations, as orientation is one of the most important things.
