Azimuth Angle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Azimuth Angle = Straight Angle-Acute Angle
∠θ_z = ∠θ_S-∠θ_acute
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Azimuth Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Azimuth angle refers to the horizontal angle between the satellite's position in the sky and the reference point, typically measured in degrees clockwise from true north.
Straight Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Straight Angle is the angle at 180 degree.
Acute Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Acute Angle refers to the angle formed between the line of sight from a ground-based antenna to a satellite and the normal (perpendicular) to the Earth's surface at the antenna's location.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Straight Angle: 180 Degree --> 3.1415926535892 Radian (Check conversion here)
Acute Angle: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

∠θ_z = ∠θ_S-∠θ_acute --> 3.1415926535892-1.3962634015952

Evaluating ... ...

∠θ_z = 1.745329251994

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.745329251994 Radian -->99.9999999999999 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

99.9999999999999 ≈ 100 Degree <-- Azimuth Angle
