Linked from

The 31 pages that link to Declination, each with the reason it gives.

• Right ascensionRelated: It supplies the north–south coordinate paired with right ascension.

• ConstellationRelated: Its lines, paired with right ascension, help define constellation borders.

• Celestial equatorRelated: This circle defines the zero point from which declination is measured.

• Equatorial coordinate systemRelated: It gives the north–south coordinate in the equatorial system.

• AzimuthCompared with: In astronomy, declination supplies a north–south coordinate where azimuth supplies a horizon direction.

• Sidereal timeRelated: Together with right ascension, it specifies an object’s position while sidereal time tracks rotation.

• Circumpolar starRelated: A star’s declination combines with the observer’s latitude to determine whether it sets.

• Hour angleRelated: Hour angle is measured along a parallel of the object’s declination.

• Altitude (astronomy)Compared with: Unlike altitude, declination does not depend on the observer's local horizon.

• Galactic coordinate systemRelated: It pairs with right ascension in transformations from Galactic coordinates.

• Nautical almanacRelated: Its daily values are central to locating the Sun, Moon, and stars in the almanac.

• New General CatalogueRelated: Together with right ascension, it specifies where an NGC object lies on the sky.

• SolsticeBroader topic: Its annual maximum and minimum identify the solstice positions of the Sun.

• Spherical astronomyBroader topic: Together with right ascension, it specifies a direction in the equatorial system.

• Equatorial mountRelated: The mount’s perpendicular axis sets a telescope’s declination before tracking begins.

• OrionRelated: Orion straddles the celestial equator, so its stars have both northern and southern declinations.

• Star chartBroader topic: It supplies the chart’s celestial equivalent of latitude.

• Celestial globeBroader topic: It supplies the other coordinate needed to place objects on the globe.

• Southern celestial hemisphereRelated: Negative declination identifies positions in the southern celestial hemisphere.

• Telescope mountRelated: An equatorial mount’s second axis sets a target’s distance from its polar axis.

• Polar alignmentRelated: A polar-aligned mount tracks in right ascension while keeping declination nearly fixed.

• SIMBADRelated: Declination pairs with right ascension to specify an object's sky position.

• Astronomical coordinate systemsBroader topic: Together with right ascension, it specifies an object's position on the celestial sphere.

• Corona AustralisRelated: Its southern declination explains why the constellation is best placed for southern observers.

• Corona BorealisNarrower topic: Its northern declination helps explain why the constellation is prominent from northern latitudes.

• CamelopardalisRelated: Its high northern declinations contribute to Camelopardalis’s circumpolar visibility.

• Leo MinorRelated: It expresses Leo Minor’s northern position on the celestial sphere.

• Messier 7Related: Messier 7’s southern declination makes it best placed for southern observers.

• OctansRelated: Octans occupies far-southern declinations around the south celestial pole.

• Uppsala General CatalogueRelated: The catalogue’s −2.5° boundary is defined in this coordinate.

• VolansRelated: Volans lies entirely south of the celestial equator.
