| alt.2 |
abbreviation of "altitude," the height of a given object or location above a specified base, such as sea level or earth, esp. the angular distance of a celestial body, measured from the horizon. |
| altitude |
in astronomy, the angular distance of a celestial body, measured from the horizon. [1/4 definitions] |
| angularity |
the quality of having an angular outline. [1/2 definitions] |
| angulation |
an angular position. [1/3 definitions] |
| bend |
to make (something) take on a curved or angular form, or a different form. [1/10 definitions] |
| curved |
having the shape of a curve; not straight or angular. |
| declination |
in astronomy, the angular distance of some object from the celestial equator. [1/5 definitions] |
| displacement |
in physics, the linear or angular distance of an object or point from a central or reference point or line. [1/4 definitions] |
| fret2 |
an interlaced, angular design used as decoration, esp. as cut out of wood with a fret saw; fretwork. [2/3 definitions] |
| kymograph |
an instrument that measures and records variations, modulations, oscillations, and the like, such as those of blood pressure or the angular positions of an aircraft in flight. |
| lat. |
abbreviation of "latitude," the angular distance between the equator and a point north or south on the earth's surface, as measured in degrees. |
| latitude |
the angular distance between the equator and a point north or south on the earth's surface, as measured in degrees. [1/3 definitions] |
| long. |
abbreviation of "longitude," the angular distance on the earth's surface east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, measured either in degrees or in hours, minutes, and seconds. |
| longitude |
the angular distance on the earth's surface east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, measured either in degrees or in hours, minutes, and seconds. |
| radian |
a unit of angular measure. One radian is defined as the angle that is formed when two radii of a circle cut a slice of the circumference that is equal in length to the radius. |
| right ascension |
the angular distance of the arc of one of the hour circles of a celestial body, measured eastward along the equator from the vernal equinox to the intersection of the hour circle, and expressed in degrees or hours; the celestial equivalent of longitude. |
| round |
relatively curved; not angular. [1/24 definitions] |
| spin |
in physics, the angular momentum of a subatomic particle. [1/15 definitions] |
