Définition

  • Declination is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle. It is comparable to geographic latitude, projected onto the celestial sphere, and hour angle is comparable to longitude. Declination's angle is measured north or south of the celestial equator, along the hour circle passing through the point in question. (Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination)
