It is most likely a value that is calculated. Usually you can tap it to see a hint explaining what is the value for. Long press usually also does something. Green color: is usually a value for time. It means this time is within five minutes of the current time. Grey color: means the value is read-only.

Icons for Degrees Azimuth • The direction of a celestial object from the observer, expressed as the angular distance from the north or south point of the horizon to the point at which a vertical circle passing through the object intersects the horizon. • The horizontal angle or direction of a compass bearing. Elevation Angle The elevation angle (used interchangeably with altitude angle) is the angular height of the sun in the sky measured from the horizontal. In English, both altitude and elevation can be used to describe the height above sea level or the elevation angle. To tell the difference, pay attention to this elevation angle icon. For elevation angle, we also always put a + or – before the value and a degree symbol after the value. On Ephemeris pager, you can always long press on the value with these two icons to set the camera azimuth or the elevation angle to the value. Icons for Ephemeris Sun It is usually the color one. Black-white one means the Sun is hidden from showing. You can tap on the Sun icon on the Rise/Set or the Position page to hide/show the Sun. Transparent one means it is below horizon.
