angle - the space between two lines or planes that intersect; the inclination of one line to another; measured in degrees or radianscrotch, fork - the angle formed by the inner sides of the legs where they join the human trunk axil - the upper angle between an axis and an offshoot such as a branch or leafstalk helix angle - the constant angle at which a helix cuts the elements of a cylinder or cone angular distance - the angular separation between two objects as perceived by an observer; "he recorded angular distances between the stars" plane angle - an angle formed by two straight lines (in the same plane) spherical angle - an angle formed at the intersection of the arcs of two great circles solid angle - an angle formed by three or more planes intersecting at a common point (the vertex) angle of inclination, inclination - (geometry) the angle formed by the x-axis and a given line (measured counterclockwise from the positive half of the x-axis) salient angle - an angle pointing outward; an interior angle of a polygon that is less than 180 degrees angle of reflection - the angle between a reflected ray and a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence angle of refraction - the angle between a refracted ray and a line perpendicular to the surface between the two media at the point of refraction dogleg - angle that resembles the hind leg of a dog right angle - the 90 degree angle between two perpendicular lines oblique angle - an angle that is not a right angle or a multiple of a right angle reflex angle - an angle greater than 180 degrees (but less than 360) cutting angle - the angle between the face of a cutting tool and the surface of the work lead - the angle between the direction a gun is aimed and the position of a moving target (correcting for the flight time of the missile) AZ, azimuth - the azimuth of a celestial body is the angle between the vertical plane containing it and the plane of the meridian space - an empty area (usually bounded in some way between things); "the architect left space in front of the building"; "they stopped at an open space in the jungle"; "the space between his teeth" polyhedral angle - the space enclosed by three or more planes that intersect in a vertex face angle - the angle formed by two edges of a polyhedral angle tilt angle - the angle a rocket makes with the vertical as it curves along its trajectory vertical angle - either of two equal and opposite angles formed by the intersection of two straight lines wave angle - the angle of arrival (or departure) of a radio wave with respect to the axis of an antenna array |
