Hello, could you help with the interpretation of the results of solving this equation.

Solve[(Cos[f]Cos[b]+Sin[f]Cos[v])Cos[d]Cos[x]+Cos[d]Sin[x]Sin[b]Sin[v]+Sin[d](Sin[f]Cos[b]-Cos[f]Sin[f]Cos[v])==0,x]

The solution has the form

ConditionalExpression[something +2Pi*C[1],
 Element[C[1], Integers]]

which means that the expression something +2Pi*C[1] is a solution provided that C[1] is an integer. Try replacing C[1] with numbers:

sol = Solve[(Cos[f] Cos[b] + Sin[f] Cos[v]) Cos[d] Cos[x] + 
     Cos[d] Sin[x] Sin[b] Sin[v] + 
     Sin[d] (Sin[f] Cos[b] - Cos[f] Sin[f] Cos[v]) == 0, x];
sol /. C[1] -> 1
sol /. C[1] -> 1/2
