What different places do astronomers use reference points?
The basic reference point in astronomy is a direction defined by the intersection of the plane of the Earth's orbit with the plane of the Equator. It is called the First Point of Aries and the Sun is near that point around March 21. Unfortunately the First Point of Aries drifts slowly because of precession, so star maps have to be updated every 50 years and the First Point of Aries is not even in the constellation of Aries any more. Bright stars are also used as reference points.
What is the divine cross?
The Devine Cross - In the sky there is a great cross that does not move formed by a line along the plain from the center of the galaxy to its edge and the other line is formed along an intersecting plane with a line from the center of the celestial equator to the southern point. The center intersecting point is the center of the Milky Way referred to as the gap or the Dark Riff. This coordinate is fixed. The Mundane Cross - Also referred to as the terrestrial cross, is viewed from the ground. It is formed by the ecliptic intersect of the Equinox and the Solstice. (These points of intersection are called equinoctial points-the vernal point and the autumnal point.)
Why are sailors taught to focus on a fixed point on the horizon?
In a small boat, it keeps the boat on a straight line. The fixed point on the horizon does not move. The boat does. If the boat moves toward a fixed point on the horizon, it is moving in a straight line. On any watercraft, watching the horizon also helps to prevent the visual disturbances that cause seasickness.
What are epicycles?
an epicycle is a system where things rotate around a fixed point.
What way does the constellation Archer point?
It points north
What is the set of points in a plane at a fixed distance from a given point?
CIRCLE
The center of a circle is a example of what?
A point. In fact it is fixed point and the locus of all points, in a plane that is a fixed distance from that fixed point defines the circle.
A collection of points in the plane whose distance from fixed point is constant?
That's a circle. The "fixed point" is the center of the circle, and the constant distance is its radius.
What is a point that is equidistant from all points on a circle?
The center of the circle. That's how the circle is defined. (The collection of all points on a plane equidistant from a fixed point. The fixed point is the center and the fixed distance is the radius.)
True or false a circle is the set of all points in a plane that lie a fixed distance from a fixed point?
That's false
What name is given to the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given fixed point?
A circle.
What is the mathematical definition of a circle?
A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are a given distance (or a fixed distance) from another point. Take a plane, and then pick any point on it. Then pick a distance from that point you picked and connect all the points that are that distance from your fixed point. That will describe the circumference of a circle. Another idea is to take a plane, pick any point, and then take a compass and put the point of that instrument on that point you picked. Then set a distance on the compass and draw a circle. That circle will be that set of all points a fixed distance from the original point you picked. (A string will work as well as a compass if that string is not stretched to draw the circle.)
What is the denifion of a circle?
I assume that you are asking about the definition of a circle. A circle is a locus of points in a plane that are at a constant distance from a fixed point.
What is a circal in math terms?
A circle is the set of all points, on a plane, that is at a specific distance from a specified point (the center).A circle is the set of all points, on a plane, that is at a specific distance from a specified point (the center).A circle is the set of all points, on a plane, that is at a specific distance from a specified point (the center).A circle is the set of all points, on a plane, that is at a specific distance from a specified point (the center).
What is a set of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane?
They are points on the circumference of a unique circle in the plane.
What is a set of points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point in a plane?
a circle
Is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point of the plane called the center?
That set of points forms what is known as a "circle".
