What is the maximum value for an azimuth angle?

90°
180°
270°
360°

The correct answer is: 360°

The maximum value for an azimuth angle is 360°. Azimuth angles are measured in a circular fashion, typically starting from true north, which is designated as 0° and increasing clockwise around the full circle. Thus, as one continues to measure in a clockwise direction, the angles can go from 0° all the way up to 360°, completing a full rotation. This system allows for precise navigation and positioning, as any angle can be expressed within the 0° to 360° range without ambiguity. Once 360° is reached, it corresponds to the original position at 0°, signifying a full circle. Therefore, the concept of azimuths being contained within this 360° framework makes it the correct maximum value for an azimuth angle.
