THE LINE OF SIGHT: It is the line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object
viewed by the observer.

THE ANGLE OF ELEVATION: It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal
when the point being viewed is above the horizontal level.

THE ANGLE OF DEPRESSION: It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal
when the point is below the horizontal level.
