Planet earth spins clockwise, just like the sun rises every day in the east, the stars do too as a result of that.

How many days will the sun pass through the zenith in a full year?
If you are located anywhere on earth that's more than 23.5 degrees from the equator, then the sun can never appear at your zenith. If you're anywhere within 23.5 degrees of the equator, then the sun will appear at your zenith, or very close to it, twice each year.
How often does the moon pass through the zenith when viewed from the equator?
If you want to get technically precise, then for a single observer who stays putin the same place, it would be a very rare occurrence. But you can be sure thatthe moon is precisely at the zenith for a point somewhereon the equator every13.7 days.
What pole does the prime meridian pass through?
The Prime Meridian touches both the north and south poles, but if you reallywant to be correct about it, it doesn't 'pass through' either of them.The poles are the ends of the Prime Meridian. So when it reaches each pole,it stops there, and doesn't 'pass through'.

What bright stars are near the zenith during the summer?
That depends on your latitude. Also, it does NOT depend on the season. If a star passes near the zenith in Summer, it will also pass near the Zenith in Winter, although it may not be visible in one season or the other (when it passes near the Zenith during the daytime).

Where would you go on earth to see a celestial pole at your zenith?
A person would have to visit the equator for the celestial equator to pass through your zenith or one would have to be at the south pole for the south celestial pole to be at your zenith. You would not see this, but you could note it.
What do waves look like after they pass through each other?
They look like before they pass through each other.
Where would you have to be to have the sun pass through your zenith at noon during the winter solstice?
That isn't possible. If you are at one of the tropics (23.5 degrees north or south of the equator), then the Sun will pass the zenith at noon, during a solstice. But in both cases (north versus south), that would happen at the SUMMER solstice.
How often does the moon pass through the zenith when viewed from the equator?
If you want to get technically precise, then for a single observer who stays putin the same place, it would be a very rare occurrence. But you can be sure thatthe moon is precisely at the zenith for a point somewhereon the equator every13.7 days.

Suppose you live at latitude 20N. Which star passes closest to your zenith on its daily path through your sky?
These all pass within 5 degrees of the zenith: Hamal (Alpha Arieties), Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), Algieba (Gamma Leonis), Arcturus (Alpha Bootis), There are other fainter ones as well
How can you identify stars and planets?
Stars 'twinkle', planets do not. This is due to the proximity of planets, the light from which does not pass through so much dust and vary accordingly.
Why will light pass through a pair of polaroids when the axes are aligned but not when the axes are at right angles to each other?
A polaroid allows light to pass through it in only one plane. If both polaroids are aligned, they will allow light to pass through the same plane. Otherwise, each will allow light to pass through a different plane and the overall effect of the two polaroids is that it will not allow light to pass through them.
How do you unlock more places in roller coaster rush?
