The 35 pages that link to Right ascension, each with the reason it gives.

• DeclinationRelated: Together, right ascension and declination specify an object's equatorial coordinates.

• ConstellationRelated: Together with declination, it locates positions within constellation boundaries.

• Celestial equatorRelated: It measures position along the circle that serves as its coordinate baseline.

• Solar declinationRelated: It is the east–west coordinate paired with declination in the equatorial system.

• Charles MessierRelated: Celestial coordinates made catalogue entries locatable and distinguishable in the sky.

• Equatorial coordinate systemRelated: It gives the east–west coordinate, paired with declination.

• Sidereal timeRelated: Subtracting an object’s right ascension from local sidereal time yields its hour angle.

• Hour angleCompared with: Right ascension is fixed to the celestial reference frame, while hour angle changes with local time.

• Galactic coordinate systemRelated: It is one output coordinate when Galactic positions are converted to equatorial form.

• Nautical almanacRelated: Along with declination, it describes celestial positions underlying many almanac entries.

• New General CatalogueRelated: Celestial coordinates help distinguish and locate catalogue entries on the sky.

• Spherical astronomyBroader topic: It is the equatorial system’s longitude-like coordinate for locating celestial objects.

• John FlamsteedBroader topic: Flamsteed’s catalogue gave stellar positions using this coordinate.

• CruxNarrower topic: It is one coordinate used to locate Crux on the celestial sphere.

• Equatorial mountRelated: The mount’s polar axis rotates in right ascension to compensate for Earth’s rotation.

• SexagesimalRelated: It is traditionally expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds.

• Celestial poleRelated: Its coordinate grid is defined around the same poles.

• March equinoxRelated: Its zero point is tied to the vernal point.

• OrionRelated: It specifies Orion’s east–west position in the sky.

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

• Celestial globeBroader topic: It supplies one of the two coordinates used to locate objects on many globes.

• Southern celestial hemisphereRelated: Together with declination, it locates objects throughout this hemisphere.

• Telescope mountRelated: On an equatorial mount, this coordinate tracks celestial motion around the polar axis.

• Horizontal coordinate systemCompared with: It offers a sky-wide coordinate that does not depend on local compass direction.

• Polar alignmentRelated: The mount’s right-ascension axis must point toward the celestial pole to track this coordinate.

• SIMBADRelated: Right ascension is one coordinate used to locate cataloged objects.

• Astronomical coordinate systemsBroader topic: It is the longitude-like coordinate used to locate objects in equatorial catalogs.

• Corona AustralisRelated: It specifies the east–west position of Corona Australis in star charts.

• Corona BorealisNarrower topic: Together with declination, it specifies Corona Borealis’s position on the celestial sphere.

• CamelopardalisRelated: Right ascension helps locate Camelopardalis on star charts.

• Leo MinorRelated: It identifies where Leo Minor lies around the sky’s rotational axis.

• Messier 7Related: Its coordinates help pinpoint Messier 7 among the stars of Scorpius.

• Minute and second of arcCompared with: Its time-like notation can be mistaken for angular minutes and seconds, though the units differ.

• OctansRelated: Together with declination, it locates Octans on the celestial sphere.

• VolansRelated: Its right-ascension range helps specify Volans’s position.
