Longitude of the ascending node
In Celestial mechanics, the longitude of the ascending node is a orbital element making it possible to define the Orbite of a body around an other. For a body in orbit around the Sun, it is about the angle between the direction of the vernal Point and the Ligne of the nodes, measured in the datum-line (generally the Plan of the ecliptic) and in the direct direction. This value is also called Right ascension of the ascending Nœud . It is usually noted by the Greek letter Oméga capital, Ω .
