Declination is measured in degrees (°), with positive values indicating northern declination and negative values indicating southern declination. It is often expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 10° 15' 30"). In the context of celestial navigation, declination refers to the angle between an object in the sky and the celestial equator.
