What else can I help you with?
What is the two variations of bending?
Bending upwards towards the sun and bending over towards the ant hill.
How do you find angle measures without a protractor?
use the sun and silhoutte
Can you measure the earths distance from the sun in light years?
it would have to be fractional the sun is not far enough
Light from the rising and setting sun is bent by the atmosphere The bending is toward the ground If there were no atmosphere would you have more or less daylight hours?
Without atmosphere, the period of daylight would be shorter, for a few reasons.Concerning the refraction of light by the atmosphere as described in the question, it has the effect ofcausing the sun to appear HIGHER than it actually is. The sun becomes visible before it actually rises,and remains visible after it has set. This lengthens the daily period of time during which the sun appearsabove the horizon.
How measure the sun temperature?
Use a spectrometer to measure the wavelength of the light. There is a direct, but inverse correlation of the wavelength to the temperature.
What is atmospheric refraction of sunrise and sunset?
Atmospheric refraction is the bending of light as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. During sunrise and sunset, the Sun appears to be slightly above the horizon when it is actually below it due to this effect. This bending causes the Sun to be visible a few minutes before it physically rises and a few minutes after it physically sets.
What is a beam of light?
It is a type of ray that travels in a straight line without bending. Eg Search light,car and motor car,disco ray,sun ray and x_ray,radioactive rays.
What makes a planet bend toward the light?
A planet or moon bends toward the light due to the gravitational force of the sun or star, causing its orbit to curve. This bending of the path of the planet toward the light is what keeps it in orbit around the star.
Do AUs measure the speed of light?
No. An A.U. is the average radius of the Earths orbit around the Sun. (which can be measured in light years or light minutes (about 8) if you want).
Why is the distance between Pluto and the sun is measure in light hours?
The distance between Pluto and the sun is so vast that it is more practical to measure it in light hours rather than traditional units like kilometers or miles. Light takes about 5.5 hours to travel from the sun to Pluto, so using light hours helps to better represent the immense scale of this distance.
What does a light year have to do with the sun and the earth?
A "light year" is a measure of distance, derived from "how far light can travel in one Earth year". Thus, if you shine a torch for the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun exactly once, that light would have travelled the distance of a "light year".
The sun and moon appear elliptical near the horizon due to?
The sun and moon appear elliptical near the horizon due to atmospheric refraction. This bending of light causes the celestial objects to look slightly flattened when they are closer to the horizon.
