|---|---|---|---|
| Description: The incidence_angle element provides a measure of the lighting condition at the intercept point. Incidence angle is the angle between the local vertical at the intercept point (surface) and a vector from the intercept point to the sun. The incidence_angle varies from 0 degrees when the intercept point coincides with the subsolar point to 90 degrees when the intercept point is at the terminator (i.e., in the shadowed or dark portion of the target body). | |||
