Antisolar point anthelic point, such as the anthelion, Wegener arcs, Tricker arcs and the parhelic circle itself. Antisolar point The antisolar point is the abstract point on the celestial sphere directly opposite of the Sun from an observer's perspective. This means that the antisolar point lies above the horizon when the Sun is below it, and vice versa. On a sunny day, the antisolar point can be easily found; it is located within the shadow of the observer's head. Like the zenith and nadir, the antisolar point is not fixed in three-dimensional space, but is defined relative to the observer. Each observer
Overhead line Overhead line An overhead line or overhead wire is used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. It is known variously as: In this article, the generic term "overhead line" is used, as used by the International Union of Railways. An overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires (or rails, particularly in tunnels) situated over rail tracks, raised to a high electrical potential by connection to feeder stations at regular intervals. The feeder stations are usually fed from a high-voltage electrical grid. Electric trains that collect their current from overhead lines use
