Declination is an astronomical term referring to the angular measurement of a celestial object's position above or below the celestial equator. It is similar to latitude on Earth. Declination is measured in degrees (°), with positive values indicating the object is north of the celestial equator and negative values indicating it is south. For example: - An object with a declination of +30° is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator.
