z/MagnitudeUnitlessReal NumberThird component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in chosen axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the z-axis of the chosen axes.
RightAscensionLongitudeUnitReal NumberRight ascension of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the x-axis of the chosen axes and projection of the selected vector onto the xy-plane of the chosen axes. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the chosen axes.
DeclinationLatitudeUnitReal NumberDeclination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the chosen axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the positive z-axis of the chosen axes is positive.
Co-DeclinationAngleUnitReal NumberCo-Declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the selected vector and z-axis of the chosen axes.
NegativeDeclinationAngleUnitReal NumberNegative declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the chosen axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the negative z-axis of the chosen axes is positive.
DirectionAngle xAngleUnitReal NumberAngle between the selected vector and the x-axis of the chosen axes.
DirectionAngle yAngleUnitReal NumberAngle between the selected vector and the y-axis of the chosen axes.
DirectionAngle zAngleUnitReal NumberAngle between the selected vector and the z-axis of the chosen axes.
Derivative xRateDimensionOfVectorReal NumberFirst component of the derivative vector, defined as the time rate of change of the selected vector in the chosen axes. Defines projection of the derivative vector onto the x-axis of the chosen axes.
Derivative yRateDimensionOfVectorReal NumberSecond component of the derivative vector, defined as the time rate of change of the selected vector in the chosen axes. Defines projection of the derivative vector onto the y-axis of the chosen axes.
