shtrirje

Angular distance of a celestial object from the sun in the sky. In standard ephemerides, this is usually denoted by the Greek letter epsilon (or by the abbreviation "Elong. "). A celestial (usually solar-system) object's "phase angle" is the elongation of the earth from the sun, as would be seen by an observer on that third celestial object.
