Sun path charts plot the sun's elevation angle and azimuth angle over a day, as seen from a given location. The elevation angle measures the height of the sun in the sky from the horizon; it's the complement of (90 degrees minus) the zenith angle of the sun. The azimuth angle indicates the direction of the sun in the horizontal plain from a given location. North is defined to have an azimuth of 0° and south has an azimuth of 180°.
