Well, I'm even more confused now.

The NOAA definition of Solar Azimuth, from their website:
NOAA wrote:-
azimuth and elevation - an angular coordinate system for locating positions in the sky. Azimuth is measured clockwise from true north to the point on the horizon directly below the object. Elevation is measured vertically from that point on the horizon up to the object. If you know the azimuth of a constellation is 135° from north, and the elevation is 30°, you can look toward the southeast, about a third of the way up from the horizon to locate that constellation. Because our planet rotates, azimuth and elevation numbers for stars and planets are constantly changing with time and with the observer's location on earth..

The north pole doesn't rotate

The North Pole definitely rotates - if it didn't, nothing else would, and there would be one sunrise and sunset through the whole year, assuming the earth's rotational stasis with reference to the plane of the ecliptic.

Sudden thought - you're not a flat-earther, are you? OMG | :OMG: Laugh | :laugh:
