What is Elevation?
Elevation is the angular measurement of a satellite above the horizon.
Elevation is measured in degrees. A satellite which is higher in the sky will have a greater elevation than one which is close to the horizon.
A satellite exactly level with the horizon would have an elevation of 0 degrees. A satellite with an elevation of 90 degrees would be directly overhead.
Knowing the elevation of a satellite from your location is critical to being able to successfully point a satellite antenna to it.
