The input must be within the domain of [-1, 1]; otherwise, it's invalid. The function is applied to a number object (`ee.Number` in both JavaScript and Python). For example, `ee.Number(-1).asin()` returns approximately -1.570796326 (-π/2), `ee.Number(0).asin()` returns 0, and `ee.Number(1).asin()` returns approximately 1.570796326 (π/2).\n"],null,["Computes the arcsine in radians of the input.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n| Usage | Returns |\n|-----------------|---------|\n| Number.asin`()` | Number |\n\n| Argument | Type | Details |\n|---------------|--------|------------------|\n| this: `input` | Number | The input value. |\n\nExamples\n\nCode Editor (JavaScript) \n\n```javascript\n// The domain of arcsine is [-1,1], inputs outside the domain are invalid.\nprint('Arcsine of -1', ee.Number(-1).asin()); // -1.570796326 (-π/2)\nprint('Arcsine of 0', ee.Number(0).asin()); // 0\nprint('Arcsine of 1', ee.Number(1).asin()); // 1.570796326 (π/2)\n```\nPython setup\n\nSee the [Python Environment](/earth-engine/guides/python_install) page for information on the Python API and using\n`geemap` for interactive development. \n\n```python\nimport ee\nimport geemap.core as geemap\n```\n\nColab (Python) \n\n```python\n# The domain of arcsine is [-1,1], inputs outside the domain are invalid.\nprint('Arcsine of -1:', ee.Number(-1).asin().getInfo()) # -1.570796326 (-π/2)\nprint('Arcsine of 0:', ee.Number(0).asin().getInfo()) # 0\nprint('Arcsine of 1:', ee.Number(1).asin().getInfo()) # 1.570796326 (π/2)\n```"]]
