A) Angular Measurement
Whole Circle Bearing (WCB) - In whole circle bearing (WCB) the bearing of a line at any specified point is measured to a meridian. Its value contrasts from zero to 360°, increasing in clockwise direction. Zero is north direction; 90° is east, 180° is south and 270°. This kind of bearing is used in prismatic compass.

Angle of Inclination – the angle of inclination on a straight line of the x-axis, Is the anticlockwise angle. As shown in the diagram below.

Zenith Angle – this is the angle between the sun and the vertical line (z-axis). The zenith angle in comparison to the elevation angle, the zenith angle is measured from the vertical instead of from the horizontal, therefore making the zenith angle = 90° - elevation as shown in the diagram below.

Horizontal Angle – this is simply an angle that denotes from a horizontal line or on the x-axis
Azimuth Angle – In terms of land navigation, azimuth is normally represented as alpha, and defined as a horizontal angle measured clockwise from a north base line or meridian. Azimuth is also been more commonly defined as a horizontal angle measured clockwise from any static location plane or easily conventional base direction line as shown in the diagram below....
