Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.

Here, the term " parallax " is the angle or semi-angle of inclination between two sight-lines to the star.

The polar angle may be called colatitude, zenith angle, normal angle, or inclination angle.

* the inclination ( or polar angle ) is the angle between the zenith direction and the line segment OP.

where v < sub > eq </ sub > is the velocity at the equator and i is the inclination angle of the rotation axis to the line of sight.

* Roof pitch relates to the slope and inclination angle

The angle of inclination formed between the neck and shaft of the femur, the collodiaphysial angle, varies with age — about 150 ° in the newborn, it gradually decreases to 126-128 ° in adults, to reach 120 ° in old age.

Climate ( from Ancient Greek klima, meaning inclination ) is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period.

This is even more true of asteroids, since their orbits usually have a greater inclination to the ecliptic than planets.

Obliquity of the ecliptic is a name used by astronomers for the inclination of Earth's equator to the ecliptic, or of Earth's rotation axis to a perpendicular to the ecliptic.

The equinoxes are also the only times when the terminator is inclined 90 ° to the Earth's Equator ( while at solstices, that inclination reaches its minimum of 66. 5 °, corresponding to 90 ° minus Earth's axial tilt ).

In 1563, Elizabeth told an imperial envoy: " If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married ".

Rabbinic Judaism does not believe that the preceding verses refer to what is nowadays described as a homosexual inclination, nor do these verses refer to lesbian sexual activity.

In a speech given in 1986, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, discussed " individuals who express an inclination towards a particular form of physical relationship in which the libidinal gratification is sought with members of one's own gender ".

The earliest use of the phrase is a quote from the Westminster Magazine of 1774: " He had no inclination for a Broomstick-marriage ", the person in question simply stating that he did not want to go through a ceremony that had no legal validity, it having been suggested to him that he would pretend to be marrying by having a French sexton read the marriage service to him and his young bride.

Orbital eccentricity is represented by segments extending horizontally from perihelion to aphelion ; inclination is shown on the vertical axis.

The inclination of a planar structure in geology is measured by strike and dip.

The strike is the line of intersection between the planar feature and a horizontal plane, taken according to the right hand convention, and the dip is the magnitude of the inclination, below horizontal, at right angles to strike.

The elections often put people into office that were very much opposed to the unitary state that was now enshrined in the constitution, and to other innovations that it entailed, or in any case were of a conservative inclination.

For Christians, concupiscence refers to what they understand as the orientation, inclination or innate tendency of human beings to long for fleshly appetites, often associated with a desire to do things which are proscribed.

They are most often paired with accelerometers in drilling tools so that both the inclination and azimuth of the drill can be found.

He plays a guitar ( made from a gourd ) and often goes on trips to explore the lesser-known tunnels of Fraggle Rock, apparently more out of a sense of obligation to his Uncle Traveling Matt than from personal inclination.

In the case of the moons of Uranus, one often talks about greatest northern elongation and greatest southern elongation instead, due to the very high inclination of Uranus ' axis of rotation ..

Proponents of this theory will often further defend it with a ( hotly debated ) claim that while Ridgebacks are versatile and use all their senses, their first and strongest inclination is to find game by sight — which itself is considered normal for dogs of any type, when the game is actually in sight.

Morton, in particular, had an inclination for violence that often led to physical fights and temporary splits in the band, or he and Dave E would go to a working-class bar and provoke a fight by dancing together as if a homosexual couple.

Not everyone would be successful though, as we can imagine, as some would have a greater natural inclination than others and often the son of a good flute player would turn out bad and vica versa.

Saturn's luminosity is often enhanced by its rings, which reflect light back toward the Earth to varying degrees depending on their inclination to the ecliptic ; however, the rings themselves are not visible to the naked eye from the Earth.

Because of the axial tilt of the Earth ( often known as the obliquity of the ecliptic ), the inclination of the Sun's trajectory in the sky ( as seen by an observer on Earth's surface ) varies over the course of the year.

The Western style is seen in a long stirrup length, often longer than even that used by dressage riders, an upright posture ( equitation riders are never to lean forward beyond a very slight inclination ), and the distinctive one-handed hold on the reins.
