Azimuth (azəməTH): originates from medieval Arabic word al-sumūt, pronounced as-sumūt in Arabic, meaning "the directions". Azimuth is the horizontal component of a compass direction, measured around the horizon. When used with Altitude, the two coordinates define the position of a celestial body (sun, moon) in the sky as viewed from a particular location at a particular time.
