The `astropy.coordinates.AltAz` class in Python's `astropy` package represents a coordinate system used for describing positions on the celestial sphere based on the altitude and azimuth angles. It provides a way to convert between celestial coordinates (e.g., right ascension and declination) and the corresponding altitudes and azimuths as observed from a specific location and time on Earth. This can be useful for astronomers and astrophysicists to determine the positions of celestial objects relative to a specific observer.
