In astronomy, it is a word denoting a star that from a given observer's latitude does not go below the horizon. For instance, no matter what time of year it is, if I go out on a clear night in Britain I can always see the stars of the plough (big dipper), they are circumpolar. However I can only see Orion in winter, it is not circumpolar.
There are no "circumpolar" satellites. There are POLAR satellites, which pass over the north pole and south pole each orbit.
The word "circumpolar" means "circling the poles", and is normally used to refer to stars that are not too far from Polaris, so that the seem to go in circles around Polaris as the Earth turns.
stars that do not rise or set, but rather circle closely around polaris
No there are no circumpolar constellations on the equator.
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
If you were standing on the equator, how many circumpolar stars would you see?
it is circumpolar if the body has a declination greater than the co-latitude, that is 90 degrees minus the latitude of the observer
All of them - except the ones that are circumpolar (that don't rise or set at all). Which ones are circumpolar depends on your latitude.
No there are no circumpolar constellations on the equator.
There's no answer to this question, because the definition of circumpolar depends on where you are. If you're at the pole, all the constellations you can see are circumpolar. If you're on the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations.
A circumpolar current is a type of current that can be found in the Antarctic region. A circumpolar current moves in a clockwise rotation.
"Circumpolar" means it is always above the horizon.
gemini is not circumpolar. the circumpolar constellations for the northern hemisphere are Cassiopeia. Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Ursa Major.
A circumpolar star never sets below your horizon.
Inuit Circumpolar Council was created in 1977.
All stars are circumpolar
Circumpolar Health Bibliographic Database was created in 2007.
International Journal of Circumpolar Health was created in 1997.
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
Circumpolar motion refers to the motion of the stars relative to the viewer in a particular spot. Stars that are said to be circumpolar never cross the horizon as they cross the sky for the viewer.
