An azimuth circle is a device used for measuring azimuths, a graduated circle on a sight, gun carriage, searchlight, etc.
To calculate azimuth closure, first determine the azimuths for each leg of your traverse using the initial bearing and the angles turned at each station. Sum all the azimuths to find the total azimuth. The azimuth closure is then calculated by taking the difference between the sum of the azimuths and the azimuth of the starting point, adjusting for 360 degrees as necessary. A closure value close to zero indicates a well-closed traverse.
The roots of the word are originally from Arabic.

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.

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.
An azimuth thruster is an engine and ship's propeller in a pod which is azimuth adjustable.
To convert a magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth, subtract G-M angle.” If you have a magnetic azimuth of 270 degrees, and the G-M angle is 8 degrees, your grid azimuth will be 262 degrees.
The point from where an azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.
RBG-Azimuth was created in 2006.
Azimuth Systems was created in 2002.
Azimuth - album - was created in 1977-03.

Astronomical azimuth is measured from true north, while geodetic azimuth is measured from the north-south line of a geodetic datum. In other words, astronomical azimuth uses the Earth's axis as reference, while geodetic azimuth is corrected for the Earth's shape and gravity. This difference leads to variations in azimuth readings, especially over long distances.
