Declination (n.): The act or state of bending downward; inclination; as, declination of the head.
Equatorial (n.): An instrument consisting of a telescope so mounted as to have two axes of motion at right angles to each other, one of them parallel to the axis of the earth, and each carrying a graduated circle, the one for measuring declination, and the other right ascension, or the hour angle, so that the telescope may be directed, even in the daytime, to any star or other object whose right ascension and declination are known. The motion in right ascension is sometimes communicated by clockwork, so as to keep the object constantly in the field of the telescope. Called also an equatorial telescope.
Declination (n.): The act of inflecting a word; declension. See Decline, v. t., 4.
Declinometer (n.): An instrument for measuring the declination of the magnetic needle.
Declension (n.): The act or the state of declining; declination; descent; slope.
Declination (n.): The act of deviating or turning aside; oblique motion; obliquity; withdrawal.
Declination (n.): The act or state of declining or refusing; withdrawal; refusal; averseness.
Declinatory (a.): Containing or involving a declination or refusal, as of submission to a charge or sentence.
Renunciation (n.): Formal declination to take out letters of administration, or to assume an office, privilege, or right.
Northing (n.): The distance of any heavenly body from the equator northward; north declination.
Declination (n.): The angular distance of any object from the celestial equator, either northward or southward.
Declination (n.): The act or state of falling off or declining from excellence or perfection; deterioration; decay; decline.
Place (n.): Position in the heavens, as of a heavenly body; -- usually defined by its right ascension and declination, or by its latitude and longitude.
Analemma (n.): A scale of the sun's declination for each day of the year, drawn across the torrid zone on an artificial terrestrial globe.
Node (n.): A hole in the gnomon of a dial, through which passes the ray of light which marks the hour of the day, the parallels of the sun's declination, his place in the ecliptic, etc.
Declinator (n.): An instrument for taking the declination or angle which a plane makes with the horizontal plane.
Southing (n.): Distance of any heavenly body south of the equator; south declination; south latitude.
Magnetometer (n.): An instrument for measuring the intensity of magnetic forces; also, less frequently, an instrument for determining any of the terrestrial magnetic elements, as the dip and declination.
Low (adv.): In a path near the equator, so that the declination is small, or near the horizon, so that the altitude is small; -- said of the heavenly bodies with reference to the diurnal revolution; as, the moon runs low, that is, is comparatively near the horizon when on or near the meridian.
Declination (n.): The arc of the horizon, contained between the vertical plane and the prime vertical circle, if reckoned from the east or west, or between the meridian and the plane, reckoned from the north or south.
Sector (n.): An astronomical instrument, the limb of which embraces a small portion only of a circle, used for measuring differences of declination too great for the compass of a micrometer. When it is used for measuring zenith distances of stars, it is called a zenith sector.
Sphere (n.): The apparent surface of the heavens, which is assumed to be spherical and everywhere equally distant, in which the heavenly bodies appear to have their places, and on which the various astronomical circles, as of right ascension and declination, the equator, ecliptic, etc., are conceived to be drawn; an ideal geometrical sphere, with the astronomical and geographical circles in their proper positions on it.
Tropic (n.): One of the two small circles of the celestial sphere, situated on each side of the equator, at a distance of 23¡ 28/, and parallel to it, which the sun just reaches at its greatest declination north or south, and from which it turns again toward the equator, the northern circle being called the Tropic of Cancer, and the southern the Tropic of Capricorn, from the names of the two signs at which they touch the ecliptic.
