3701 | parallax correction | A CORRECTION due to PARALLAX, particularly that SEXTANT ALTITUDE correction due to the difference between the apparent direction from a poin... more |
|
3702 | parallax difference | In PHOTOGRAMMETRY, the difference in the ABSOLUTE STEREOSCOPIC PARALLAXES of two points imaged on a pair of PHOTOGRAPHS. Customarily used i... more |
|
3703 | parallax in altitude | GEOCENTRIC PARALLAX of a body at any ALTITUDE. The expression is used to distinguish the PARALLAX at the given ALTITUDE from the HORIZONTAL ... more |
|
3704 | parallax inequality | The variation in the RANGE OF TIDE or in the SPEED of TIDAL CURRENTS due to the continual change in the distance of the MOON from the EARTH. |
|
3705 | parallel | A circle (or approximation of a circle) on the surface of the EARTH, parallel to the EQUATOR and connecting points of equal LATITUDE. Also c... more |
|
3706 | parallel: astronomical | A line on the surface of the EARTH which has the same ASTRONOMICAL LATITUDE at every point. Because the DEFLECTION OF THE VERTICAL is not th... more |
|
3707 | parallel: celestial | See PARALLEL OF DECLINATION. |
|
3708 | parallel: geodetic | A line on the SPHEROID which has the same GEODETIC LATITUDE at every point. A geodetic parallel, other than the EQUATOR, is not a GEODETIC L... more |
|
3709 | parallel: geographic(al) | A line on the EARTH having the same LATITUDE at every point. The term is applicable alike to an ASTRONOMICAL PARALLEL or to a GEODETIC PAR... more |
|
3710 | parallel: ground | In PHOTOGRAMMETRY, the intersection of the plane of the PHOTOGRAPH with the plane of reference of the GROUND. See also AXIS OF HOMOLOGY. |
