Different between Azimuth and Elevation in satellite dish installation.

     In dish installation, there is need to know the different betwen Azimuth and Elevation.Satellites are approximately 22,300 miles above the equator. Normally satellite travel from west to east direction. Satellite dish always point to the direction of the equator.  Azimuth is the rotation of angle from east to west.In other words, azimuth means the left to right positioning of dish.. Azimuth is horizontal position. Horizontal alignment of dish  means posioning satellite dish  to where you wish to get the signal.
      Elevation means the up and down angle. In other words Elevation menas the up and down posioning of dish. Elevation is vertical position. It means angle of which the satellite signal reaches the earth surface. In installing satellite dish , you need to set the elevation first by simply pointing the dish correctly from left to right position. Some dish have elevation mark on the scale of the side of the dish. Elevation is norally measure in degree and in trying to adjust, you need to look at the number of the side of the dish . It should be positioned where signal of the satellite cover your area. Usually satellite dish is pointed low towards the horizon, when they are aiming at a high elevation .
