| view:azimuth | number | Viewing azimuth angle. The angle measured from the sub-satellite point (point on the ground below the platform) between the scene center and true north. Measured clockwise from north in degrees (0-360). |
| view:sun_azimuth | number | Sun azimuth angle. From the scene center point on the ground, this is the angle between truth north and the sun. Measured clockwise in degrees (0-360). |
| view:sun_elevation | number | Sun elevation angle. The angle from the tangent of the scene center point to the sun. Measured from the horizon in degrees (`-90`-`90`). Negative values indicate the sun is below the horizon, e.g. sun elevation of -10° means the data was captured during [nautical twilight](https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/different-types-twilight.html). |
| view:moon_azimuth | \[number\] | Moon azimuth angle(s). From the scene center point on the ground, this is the angle(s) between truth north and the moon(s). Measured clockwise in degrees (0-360). |
| view:moon_elevation | \[number\] | Moon elevation angle(s). The angle(s) from the tangent of the scene center point to the moon(s). Measured from the horizon in degrees (`0`-`90`). |

*At least one of the fields must be specified.*

The angles `off_nadir`, `incidence_angle`, and `sun_elevation` are angles measured on a 2d plane formed: sensor location,
sub-sensor point on the earth, the sun, and the center of the viewed area.
The angles `off_nadir`, `incidence_angle`, and `sun_elevation` / `moon_elevation` are angles measured on a 2d plane formed: sensor location,
sub-sensor point on the earth, the sun / moon, and the center of the viewed area.

The off-nadir angle and the incidence angle are related. When the off-nadir angle is low (high incidence angle) then the
two angles sum to about 90, so one can be calculated from the other. However, at high off-nadir angles with high altitude
sensors the curvature of the earth has an impact and their sum will be less than 90. If only providing one of the two angles,
the off-nadir angle is preferred.

The angles `azimuth` and `sun_azimuth` indicate the position of the viewed scene and the sun by the angle from true north, as shown below.
The angles `azimuth` and `sun_azimuth` / `moon_azimuth` indicate the position of the viewed scene and the sun / moon by the angle from true north, as shown below.
