Vertical

An object is in a vertical position when it is aligned in an "up-down" direction, perpendicular to the horizon.

Compare horizontal.


A pair of angles are said to be vertical if they share the same vertex and are bounded by the same pair of lines but are opposite to each other. If a pair of angles are vertical, then they are equal (congruent).


In music the vertical aspect is simultaneity, either intervals or harmony, as opposed to succession or the linear aspect
