Azimuth tells you what direction to face and Elevation tells you how high up in the sky to look. Both are measured in degrees. Azimuth varies from 0° to 360°.

How do you find the azimuth and elevation angle?
You can calculate the azimuth and elevation angles between East-North-Up vectors (x,y,z) and (u,v,w) using the following: Subtract the vectors: (x,y,z) - (u,v,w) = (x-u,y-v,z-w) = (x',y',z')
Which is the azimuth angle?
An azimuth is the direction measured in degrees clockwise from north on an azimuth circle. An azimuth circle consists of 360 degrees. Ninety degrees corresponds to east, 180 degrees is south, 270 degrees is west, and 360 degrees and 0 degrees mark north.
What is azimuth and elevation plane?
The azimuth plane is also known as the XY plane and refers to the horizontal plane. The elevation plane is also known as the vertical or YZ plane. The elevation plane is oriented at right angles to the azimuth plane. A third perpendicular plane, the XZ plane also intersects the origin and provides data points.
What is azimuth and elevation in radar?
The radar needs 3 pieces of information to determine the location of a target. The first piece of information is the angle of the radar beam with respect to north; called the "azimuth angle". The second is the angle of the beam with respect to the ground; called the "elevation angle".
