A+ true.
What is 70 degrees above the north horizon?
Looking toward the north, the ray from you through the point 70 degrees above the horizon. 90 degrees would be directly overhead.Notation such as this is used to announce sightings of the International Space Station, for example:
Does the Aurora borealis influence compass needles?
Scientists observed disruption of a the magnetic needle of a compass by the electromagnetic interference by Aurora Borealis which reflected perfect direction that coincided with the view of the phenomena. It was concluded this would only happen if electric currents were setting from south to north in the earth under the needle, or from north to south in space above it.
Are you in the earth or on the earth?
We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D
Why do rocks from space not strike us on earth?
if the earth did not have an atmosphere, than many rocks from space would have striked the earth's surface by now.
If you hovered above the earth in a helicopter would you still move with the earth?
Yes, you are not in space so you are still in Earth's gravitational force.
How long was the descent to earth from space?
Depending on your definition, the descent to earth from space would be about 60 miles long if you were to consider "space" to start at 60 miles above sea-level.
What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth
If the space station were in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth would the people be weightless?
The astronauts would experience weightlessness.
Is Oregon next to or above California?
Generally speaking, the atmosphere and outer space is above Oregon. If by "above" you euphemistically meant "north" since "north" is usually "upwards" on a map, then the answer would be Washington State and then the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Which way does earth rotate?
If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would seethe earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
Why is Polaris useful for navigation?
It is useful because it is directly above Earth's north pole so if you were traveling north, you would know what to follow
Which way is earth turning?
The Earth rotates towards the east. Or, if you were looking down on it from above the North Pole, it would rotate counter-clockwise.
The earth rotates from east to west on its on axis. is it true?
I'm not sure of what you mean but I think you got it right. Another way to describe it is if you are North of Earth, out in space, looking back, you would see Earth rotate counter-clockwise. If you were out in space from the South side of our planet Earth, you would see the Earth rotate clockwise.
