Hour angle Negative hour angles indicate the time until the next transit across the meridian; an hour angle of zero means the object is on the meridian. Observing the sun from earth, the solar hour angle is an expression of time, expressed in angular measurement, usually degrees, from solar noon. At solar noon the hour angle is 0.000 degree, with the time before solar noon expressed as negative degrees, and the local time after solar noon expressed as positive degrees. For example, at 10:30 AM local apparent time the hour angle is -22.5° (15° per hour times 1.5 hours before noon). The
Less-than sign encoded as a single-byte code point token. In Fortran, operator .LE. means "less than or equal to". In Bourne shell and Windows PowerShell, the operator -le means "less than or equal to". In the R programming language, the less-than sign is used in conjunction with a hyphen-minus to create an arrow (codice_1), this can be used as the left assignment operator. In Bourne shell (and many other shells), less-than sign is used to redirect input from a file. Less-than plus ampersand (<&) is used to redirect from a file descriptor. Less-than sign is used in the spaceship operator. In HTML
