School me on Thermostat housing.

Kind of a basic question, but what exactly does the 45* or 15* angle refer to? I've seen pictures of housings (gooseneck) pointed ever which direction: right, left, straight up to straight out. I'm looking for a housing the remains as low as possible for throttle body clearance and discharges in a "normal" drivers' side.
