meridiaanideks

Meridiaanideks, also known as the meridian index, is a numerical representation of the position of a celestial body relative to the meridian of an observer. It is used in astronomy and navigation to determine the altitude of a celestial body above the horizon. The meridian is an imaginary line that passes through the north and south points on the horizon and is perpendicular to the horizon. When a celestial body is on the meridian, its meridian index is 0 degrees. As the body moves away from the meridian, the meridian index increases, reaching 90 degrees when the body is on the horizon. The meridian index is an important tool for astronomers and navigators, as it allows them to accurately determine the position of celestial bodies and navigate using the stars.
