- In a
spherical coordinate system, a
colatitude is the
complementary angle of a
given latitude, i.e. the
difference between a
right angle and the latitude...
-
angle may be
called inclination angle,
zenith angle,
normal angle, or the
colatitude. The user may
choose to
replace the
inclination angle by its complement...
-
normalization constant, and θ and φ
represent colatitude and longitude, respectively. In particular, the
colatitude θ, or
polar angle,
ranges from 0 at the...
- Earth. The
geocentric latitude θ is the
complement of the
polar angle or
colatitude θ′ in
conventional spherical polar coordinates in
which the coordinates...
- λ is the
magnetic latitude (equal to 90° − θ)
where θ is the
magnetic colatitude,
measured in
radians or
degrees from the
dipole axis m is the
dipole moment...
- L | > 90° (i.e. if in
absolute value the
declination is more than the
colatitude, in the
corresponding hemisphere) The
object is
below the
horizon even...
- can be
broken down into the
product of
three functions of the radius,
colatitude (or polar) angle, and azimuth: ψ ( r , θ , ϕ ) = R ( r ) P ( θ ) F ( ϕ...
- for
which the
longitude (or azimuth) φ {\displaystyle \varphi } and the
colatitude (or
polar angle) θ {\displaystyle \theta } are in a
linear relationship...

equirectangular projection.
These are
curves for
which longitude and
colatitude are in a
linear relationship,
analogous to
