Zero/360 degrees is North; 90 is East; 180 is South; 270 is West.
{each is 90 degrees from the next}
225 is Southwest. 45 degrees or half way between south and west. 210 is South-southwest Is that close enough for you? ;-)

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.
You would use a protractor or a compass to determine a grid azimuth on a map. These tools help you measure the angle between a grid line and the north direction on the map, providing the azimuth reading.
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.
The angle is called the azimuth angle. It represents the direction of the point or projected line from the observer in relation to the north-south line. It is measured clockwise from the north direction.
Azimuth refers to the direction of a celestial object from an observer, measured in degrees clockwise from true north. It is commonly used in astronomy and navigation to determine the position of stars or other objects in the sky.
