What is an object's height a measure of?
An object's height is the measure of the distance between its lowest point and its highest point expressed in linear units.
How do you measure latitude by polaris?
Polaris (or the North Star) is almost directly above the North pole. This means that when you stand on the north pole and look directly up, you will see Polaris. This also means that when you stand at the equator and look directly north, you will see Polaris on the horizon. You can not see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. The angle Polaris is above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90 degrees above the horizon.
How many inches are in 20 degrees?
An inch is a measure of length, while a degree is a measure of angle, so it is impossible to convert inches to degrees.
How can you determine your latitude in the northern hemisphere just by using a star?
The angle between the north star and your northern horizon is approximately the same as your latitude north of the equator.
How do you know the difference between longtuide and latilted?
Lines of longitude run North to South, and are called meridians. They measure degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian. Lines of latitude run East to West, and are called latitudes. They measure degrees North or South of the Equator.
What does latitude measure?
Latitude measure North to South. This is a much more appropriate answer. Latitude measures the angle between your horizon and a polar star. Which in turn provides a measurement in degrees north or south of the Equator.
How do you know that The Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees?
Measure the angle from the true horizon to the midday Sun on the dates of the vernal and atumnal equinoxes and on the dates of the solstices. The angle between the the solstice noon Sun and an equinox midday Sun will be 23,5 degrees.
Define the unknown angle measure between 64 degrees 58 degrees and 98 degrease?
define the unknown angle measure between 64 degrees 58 degrees and 98 degrees?
How are angles differentiated?
they can fyi * * * * * Angle are differentiated according to their measure. A whole turn measures 360 degrees. Angles are classified as follows: acute angle: measure between 0 and 90 degrees. right angle: 90 degrees obtuse angle: measure between 90 and 180 degrees. reflex angle: measure between 180 and 360 degrees.
You can measuring the altitude of a star by measuring the angle between your horizon and the star using a?
We would typically use a sextant to measure the angle of a star above the horizon.
If an angle is obtuse then it has a measure of 120 degrees?
When an angle has a measure of 120 degrees, it is an obtuse angle. When an angle is an obtuse angle its measure is between 90 and 180 degrees. That is: 90 degrees < obtuse angle < 180 degrees.
How many moons placed next to each other would extend from one point on the horizon to the point on the opposite side of the horizon?
Measure the angular size of the moon and divide 180 degrees by the angular size.
An angle with a measure between 180 degrees and 360 degrees?
a straight angle
What angle has a measure between 90 degrees and 180 degrees?
obtuse angle
Which angle has a measure between 180 degrees and 360 degrees?
It is a reflex angle.
The measure of angle B is 91 degrees Classify angle B?
An angle which has measure between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is an obtuse angle.
What is the relationship between the measure of an angle and the reflex measure of the angle?
they both measure the angle in degrees
