How does rotation affect rotation?

When the earth moves, the sun is left behind, so half of the earth is not facing the sun. Dumbo


What would happen to the altitude of star b as the night progresses?

As the night progresses, the altitude of star B will rise in the sky due to the Earth's rotation. The star will appear to move along a curved path called the arc of a circle because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. This apparent motion is from east to west as seen by observers on Earth.


Can a solar flare stop the Earth's rotation?

No, a solar flare cannot stop the Earth's rotation. Solar flares are bursts of energy and particles from the Sun and do not have the capability to alter the rotation of our planet. Earth's rotation is influenced by gravitational forces, primarily from the Sun and Moon.


With the aid of diagram distinquish in detail the difference between astronomical azimuth and geodetic azimuth?

Astronomical azimuth is measured from true north, while geodetic azimuth is measured from the north-south line of a geodetic datum. In other words, astronomical azimuth uses the Earth's axis as reference, while geodetic azimuth is corrected for the Earth's shape and gravity. This difference leads to variations in azimuth readings, especially over long distances.


What factor does not affect weather on earth?

The rotation of the Earth on its axis does not directly affect weather patterns. Rotation influences the length of day and night, but weather is primarily influenced by factors such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind patterns.

What is the azimuth and altitude of the star Betelgeuse?

As of 2021, Betelgeuse has an azimuth of around 225 degrees and an altitude of about 27 degrees when observed from the northern hemisphere. These values will change throughout the night and over the course of the year due to the Earth's rotation and orbit.


What is the azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius?

The azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius depend where you are on Earth and the date and time. The altitude can be anything form 0-90, and the azimuth 0-180.


Why do atronomers use azimuth and altitude?

Astronomers use azimuth and altitude as a coordinate system to locate celestial objects in the sky from a specific observer's perspective. Azimuth measures the angle along the horizon, indicating the cardinal direction (0° for North, 90° for East, etc.), while altitude measures the angle above the horizon. This system simplifies the process of tracking objects' positions as they move across the sky due to Earth's rotation. It is particularly useful for amateur astronomers and in practical observations.


Does Drilling deep into the earth affect the earth's daily rotation?

How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?

The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.


Does the space shuttle launch affect the earth rotation?

No it does not.


How would the implementation of wind power affect the rotation of the Earth?

The implementation of wind power would not significantly affect the rotation of the Earth. Wind power involves harnessing the energy from wind to generate electricity, which does not have a significant impact on the Earth's rotation.

How using Earth's rotation speed to escape gravity?

Earth's rotation speed doesn't affect the ability to escape Earth's gravity. Escaping Earth's gravity requires reaching a velocity of about 11.2 km/s regardless of Earth's rotation speed. Earth's rotation does provide a slight boost to the velocity required to escape in the direction of the rotation.


Does the Earth's rotation affect a space shuttle launch?

Yes. It is harder for a Space Shuttle to break through the Earth's atmosphere when it's going against the rotation of Earth.
