The zenith (UK: /ˈzɛnɪθ/, US: /ˈziːnɪθ/)[1] is an imaginary point directly "above" a particular location, on the celestial sphere. "Above" means in the vertical direction (plumb line) opposite to the gravity direction at that location (nadir). The zenith is the "highest" point on the celestial sphere.
