  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    If one looks at red numbers on the chart specifying grade, one can see the quirkiness of using the grade to specify slope; the numbers go from 0 for flat, to 100% at 45 degrees, to infinity as it approaches vertical. Slope may still be expressed when the horizontal run is not known: the rise can be divided by the hypotenuse (the slope length).

  3. Visual field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field

    The normal (monocular) human visual field extends to approximately 60 degrees nasally (toward the nose, or inward) from the vertical meridian in each eye, to 107 degrees temporally (away from the nose, or outwards) from the vertical meridian, and approximately 70 degrees above and 80 below the horizontal meridian.

  4. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    Humans have a slightly over 210-degree forward-facing horizontal arc of their visual field (i.e. without eye movements), [4] [5] [6] (with eye movements included it is slightly larger, as you can try for yourself by wiggling a finger on the side), while some birds have a complete or nearly complete 360-degree visual field. The vertical range of ...

  5. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35 mm digital using width 36 mm, height 24 mm, and diagonal 43.3 mm for d in the formula above).

  6. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc. It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size S {\displaystyle S} , located in the distance D {\displaystyle D} from point O ...

  7. Field of view in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games

    90 degrees FOV in a video game. The field of view is usually given as an angle for the horizontal or vertical component of the FOV. A larger angle indicates a larger field of view. However, depending on the FOV scaling method used by the game, it may only affect the horizontal or the vertical component of the field of view.

  8. Latitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude

    The vertical lines from pole to pole ... With this value for R the meridian length of 1 degree of latitude on the sphere is 111.2 km (69.1 statute miles) (60.0 ...

  9. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system specifies a given point in the plane by using a distance and an angle as its two coordinates. These are the point's distance from a reference point called the pole, and
