Hello!

As per the dictionary meaning:

the angular separation between two objects as perceived by an observer is called angular distance.

In mathematics- the angular distance between 2 point objects, as observed from a location different from either of these objects, is the size of the angle between the two directions originating from the observer and pointing towards these two objects. Angular distance is thus synonymous to angle itself.

I hope this helps.
