The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Mathematically, the relative position vector from an observer to a point of interest is projected perpendicularly onto a reference plane, the angle between the projected vector and a reference vector on the reference plane is called the azimuth.
- When used as a celestial coordinate, the azimuth is the horizontal direction of a star or other astronomical object in the sky.
- The star is the point of interest, the reference plane is the local area around an observer on Earth's surface, and the reference vector points to true north.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Azimuth article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
