Elevation is a vertical lift and azimuth is a rotation around a vertical axis. An example of its use is in radar. The radar antenna rotates towards its target, its azimuth, and then lifts vertically to elevate the receiver then locks on to the target.

With the aid of diagram distinquish in detail the difference between astronomical azimuth and geodetic azimuth?
nothing =)
What is the approximate azimuth and elevation of Venus just before it sets?
Azimuth about 270 degrees. That's due West. Elevation (or altitude) about 5 degrees. That's just above the horizon. Venus is always fairly near the Sun in the sky. The Sun sets roughly in the West. Amongst other things, the actual azimuth would depend on time of year and different latitude, of course. I've used the convention for azimuth of North 0 or 360 degrees, West 270 degrees, South 180 degrees, East 90 degrees. There are other conventions.
What is a back azimuth?
A BACK AZIMUTH IS A PROJECTION OF THE AZIMUTH FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE AZIMUTH CIRCLE. i.e. THERE ARE 360 DEGREES IN AN AZIMUTH CIRCLE, THUS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IS 180 DEGREES.
What is the sun's azimuth?
Azimuth tells us the direction in which a celestial object can be seen. It is the angle (clockwise) between due north and the point on the horizon directly below the object. The azimuth of the Sun thus varies with the time of day and the time of year.
What are azimuth and altitude to describe?
Azimuth is the angle, typically using true north as zero degrees to an object from viewers location. An altitude (if expressed as an elevation angle from the viewer) provides a line of sight to an object in space. If you were standing at a point and facing true north and there was an airplane flying at 20,000 ft and you knew the elevation angle you could compute the range and have an (X,Y,Z) location for the object.
What is the azimuth and elevation for dish network at zip code 78642?
Using a Dish satellite in zip code 78642: azimuth: 203, elevation:50 and skew: 116
Difference between searching and tracking radar?
Search radar explore large volume of space. Normally it has a 360 degree of azimuth and 20-30 degrees to 90 degrees elevation angle. Tracking radars locks a perticular target. Normally it has a narrow azimuth.
What is the dofference between a factor and a multiple?
Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

What is the azimuth and elevation for dish network at zip code 12901?
Zip Code -426XXElevation -34Azimuth -231Skew - 127 These are the settings for a 1000.2, 1000.4, or 1000.5 dish. If you don't have that type dish, exclude the skew.
Azimuth angle of 150 degree?
"Azimuth and Elevation" is a way of locating a geostationary satellite in the sky, based on your latitude & longitude. For the Seattle, Washington area, for example, the basic bird for Dish Network installs is at Azimuth 150, Elevation 34. So to locate the point in the sky where the bird is, you start with a compass heading of 150 degrees (which is 30 degrees East of due South) and then point up 34 degrees above the horizon.
How many degrees are there between south-east and north?

What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
What is azimuth?
Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes.
