If the fixed point is the intersection of the celestial equator and the hour circle that intersects the body's position on the celestial sphere, it is declination.

Circle and its elements?
A circle is the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from a fixed point is constant. .The fixed point is centre and fixed distance is radius of circle. Elements of circle are centre, radius and circumference.
A collection of points in the plane whose distance from fixed point is constant?
That's a circle. The "fixed point" is the center of the circle, and the constant distance is its radius.
How many degrees equal 1 inch?
The question cannot be answered simply. A degree is a measure of angular displacement whereas an inch is a measure of linear displacement. If the angular displacement (in degrees) were measured at a distance r inches from some fixed point (the centre of rotation), then the linear displacement would be pi*r/180 inches.
How do you find total distance and total time and then calculate them altogether?
Total Distance: Distance from some fixed point at end - Distance from the same fixed point at start. Total Time: Time at end - Time at start. Not sure what is meant by "calculate them altogether".
What does parabola mean in mathematical terms?
It is the locus of all points such that their distance from a fixed line (the directrix) is the same as their distance from a fixed point which is not on that line (the focus).

The center of a circle is a example of what?
A point. In fact it is fixed point and the locus of all points, in a plane that is a fixed distance from that fixed point defines the circle.
How would you define straight?
A point that travels a distance without any angular deviation.
A collection of points in the plane whose distance from fixed point is constant?
That's a circle. The "fixed point" is the center of the circle, and the constant distance is its radius.
A six letter word for a plane curve with each point on the curve being and equal distance from a fixed point at the center of the figure?
The distance from the fixed point at the center of a circle to any point on the curve is called the radius.
What is the social studies definition of latitude?
the angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point.
How a body can have angular momentum when it is moving in straight line?
If a body is moving in a straight line then it would have angular momentum about any point which is not along its line of motion. The magnitude of the angular momentum would be its velocity times the perpendicular distance between the line of motion and the point.
Definein in one sentence the term latitude?
The angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point.

What is a point that is equidistant from all points on a circle?
The center of the circle. That's how the circle is defined. (The collection of all points on a plane equidistant from a fixed point. The fixed point is the center and the fixed distance is the radius.)
How do you find total distance and total time and then calculate them altogether?
Total Distance: Distance from some fixed point at end - Distance from the same fixed point at start. Total Time: Time at end - Time at start. Not sure what is meant by "calculate them altogether".
