Angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal upward to an object. Imagine you are standing on the ground and looking up at the top of a building. The angle your line of sight makes with the horizontal ground is the angle of elevation.

Angle of depression is the angle from the horizontal downward to an object. If you are in a tall building looking down at a car on the street, the angle your line of sight makes with the horizontal is the angle of depression.
