Angle of Elevation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Angle of Elevation = Right Angle-Tilt Angle-Earth Station Latitude
∠θel = ∠θR-∠θtilt-λe
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Angle of Elevation - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of elevation in satellite communication refers to the vertical angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting an Earth-based satellite dish or antenna to a satellite in space.
Right Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Right angle refer to the orientation of the satellite antenna's main beam with respect to the Earth's surface.
Tilt Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Tilt Angle refers to the angular displacement or inclination of a satellite antenna or dish from the vertical axis.
Earth Station Latitude - (Measured in Radian) - Earth Station Latitude refers to the geographical latitude coordinate of a specific ground-based station on Earth that is equipped to communicate with satellites.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Right Angle: 90 Degree --> 1.5707963267946 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
Tilt Angle: 31 Degree --> 0.54105206811814 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
Earth Station Latitude: 17 Degree --> 0.29670597283898 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
∠θel = ∠θR-∠θtilte --> 1.5707963267946-0.54105206811814-0.29670597283898
Evaluating ... ...
∠θel = 0.73303828583748
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.73303828583748 Radian -->42 Degree (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
42 Degree <-- Angle of Elevation
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
