A clock position is the relative direction of an object described using the analogy of a 12-hour clock. One imagines a clock face lying either upright or flat in front of oneself, and identifies the twelve hour markings with the directions in which they point. Using this analogy, ''12 o'clock'' means ''ahead or above'', ''3 o'clock'' means ''to the right'', ''6 o'clock'' means ''behind or below'', and ''9 o'clock'' means ''to the left''. The other eight hours refer to directions that are not directly in line with the four major directions. In aviation, a clock position refers to a horizontal direction; it may be supplemented with the word ''high'' or ''low'' to describe the vertical direction. ''6 o'clock high'' means ''behind and above the horizon'', while ''12 o'clock low'' means ''ahead and below the horizon''. ==In media and culture== The 1949 movie ''Twelve O'Clock High'' takes its title from the system. In this case the position would be ''ahead and above the horizon''. The phrase "on your six" refers to the system, six referring to the six o'clock or following position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clock position」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
