What two coordinates is the Global Positioning System?
The two map coordinates or geodetic coordinates are latitude and longitude measured on the surface of the Earth's globe-shaped surface or at mean sea level or at the magnetic geoid.
About the hliocentric and geocentric?
most scientist believe in the heliocentric more than the geocentric
What is the term for earth centered?
The word for earth-centered is geocentric,
How do you explain the relative motion between the equatorial coordinate system and the horizontal coordinate system as time passes for an observer upon the earth?
The equatorial coordinate system is usually called geocentric coordinates, which are declination and hour-angle, and the horizontal system is called altitude and azimuth. The two coordinate systems are tilted relative to one another by 23.4 degrees, the Earth's axial tilt, in the plane of the local meridian of the observer. As time passes, in geocentric coordinates the declination stays the same while the hour angle increases at 15 degrees per hour. In the horizontal system both coordinates change, with the altitude increasing from zero as an object rises, then reaches its maximum altitude when due south, and then it gradually sets in the west.
Who challenged the geocentric model of the solar system?
Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer to challenge the geocentric model of the solar system.
What is the a coordinate on the gps of latitude and logitude called?
I have heard them called Map Coordinates and Geodetic Coordinates.
What two coordinates is the Global Positioning System?
The two map coordinates or geodetic coordinates are latitude and longitude measured on the surface of the Earth's globe-shaped surface or at mean sea level or at the magnetic geoid.
Why are homogeneous coordinates used for transformation computattion in computer graphics?
The matrices for transformations, especially with perspective and translations, are much easier to express in homogeneous coordinates than rectangular coordinates.
How can you show that newton's law of motion obey the principle of relativity when the coordinates and time are transformed according to galilean's transformation?
By using the Lorentz transformation instead.
When was Rudi Geodetic Point created?
Rudi Geodetic Point was created in 2006.
What happens to the coordinates when you reflect or rotate a point in the coordinate plane?
They will change according to the exact nature of the transformation.
What are some engineering career that starts with the letter g?
geodetic
Obtain a transformation which will diagonalize the matrix?
consider a matrix Aobtain a transformation which will diagonalize the matrix.Whatare the coordinates of an arbitrary vectora=traspos(x,y,z)with respect to the basis set which diagonalizes A?
When was U.S National Geodetic Survey created?
U.S. National Geodetic Survey was created in 1807.
What is geodetic azimuth?
Geodetic azimuth is when you measure in a Brunton compass from 0 to 360 degrees clockwise.
What has replaced the use of stars in geodetic measurements?
The use of stars in geodetic measurements has been replaced by GPS satellites.
Where would the earth be located in a model of celestial sphere?
The celestial sphere has the Earth at the centre and all the objects in the sky situated on the sphere at infinite distance. Positions of the objects are described by two coordinates, which could be azimuth and elevation, or, in geocentric coordinates, declination and hour-angle.
