Angle of elevation
• Angle between horizontal line through point of observation and the line of sight of an object that lies above horizontal line.
Look at the bird, my eye is moving upward, so,
line of sight is
horizontal line.
Angle of elevation
is at below line of sight
above

Angle of depression• Angle between horizontal line
through point of observation and the line of sight of an object that lies below horizontal line.
I’m looking at the boy, my eye is moving downward, so, line of sight is
horizontal line.
Angle of depression
is at above line of sight.
