Why do summer feel shorter than winter?
It should not. Summer has longer periods of sunlight. Winter has longer nights. Maybe its time to move out of Siberia.
How do you figure out the distance of an epicenter?
The distance of an epicenter from a seismograph station can determined by the time it takes for the seismic waves to reach each station. You need at least 3 seismic stations to record the event to determine this. The time taken for each seismic station to resisted the event will be different as they are different distances from the epicenter. The distance to the epicenter can then be calculated for each station and a epicenter can be determined by a triangulation from all stations that have registered the event.
If there are 3 records of the same earthquake how can the epicenter be determined?
The epicenter can be determined by measuring the time difference between the arrival of P and S waves, and then calculating the distance of the epicenter from each of the 3 stations. Once you have estimated the distance for each station you then draw a circle around each one. The place where the circles meet or intersect, is the epicenter.
Which two waves from an earthquake can triangulate the epicenter?
P-waves (Primary) and S-waves (Secondary). Using the difference in time between the arrival of P- and S-waves, you can then determine the distance from the epicenter. Once you've determined the distance from the epicenter of three different stations, you'll be able to triangulate the epicenter (the point where all three circles cross).
What is the distance of a station from the epicenter if the s-p lag time is measured to be 35.5 seconds?
20 km
If you want hard yolk poached eggs do you cook longer or shorter time?
Longer.
Do plants make candles last for a shorter amount of time?
longer time
Can you hold your breath for a longer or shorter time after exercising?
Shorter because you have less oxygen circulating your body

Because it can go a further distance in a shorter time.
Why don't Arizona and Hawaii observe Daylight Saving Time?

Is a year longer or shorter on Venus?
Shorter because its orbit is smaller and its takes less time to complete its round around sun
What does it mean to travel at 60 miles per hour?
It means that if you travel for an hour you will have covered a distance of 60 miles. If you travel for a longer or shorter time you will cover a proportionally longer or shorter distance.
Do the days get shorter at the same time every year?
Yes. Same goes for longer.
Effects of the invention of the automobile?
People get to travel longer distances in shorter amount of time.
Would Jupiter have a longer or shorter year than earth?
It would have a longer year, because it is further away from the Sun, and so would take a longer time to orbit it. A year is dictated by how long we take to orbit the Sun. Yes and in fact Jupiter takes about 11.9 Earth years to orbit the Sun.
Which planet has the shorter revolution around the sun venus or mercury?
Venus: has a shorter revolution from the sun, the Venus is further and if revolved around the short period of time..
