In astronomy, the condition where two celestial bodies have the same declination, or the same angular distance from the celestial equator.
From 'co-' (together, with) plus 'declination' (the angle of a star from the celestial equator). This astronomical term describes stars or planets sharing the same declination coordinate.
If two stars are in codeclination, they sit at exactly the same latitude in the sky—meaning they're at the same height above the horizon from Earth's perspective, which helps astronomers map and predict celestial positions!
