What season does Sagittarius appear highest in the sky at midnight to observers near earths equator?
Sagittarius should appear highest in the sky at midnight right around the First of the Year, and it doesn't matter where on Earth you are.
What changes with latitude?
-- the distance from the equator -- the distances from the north and south poles -- the speed of the ground toward the east as the Earth rotates -- on the average, the apparent local acceleration of gravity -- the total distance around the Earth traveled in one day -- the position of the celestial poles in the sky -- the paths of the stars during the night -- the total portion of all the stars and constellations that's visible in a night or a year -- the highest altitude in the sky that the Sun ever reaches during the year -- the highest altitude in the sky that the moon ever reaches -- the distance that one degree of longitude covers on the ground from your latitude -- the amount of the total night sky that never sets as seen from your latitude -- the length of the longest day of the year -- the length of the shortest day of the year -- the difference between them -- the broad, very-long-term-average climate, especially the temperature, although there are great differences in climates even at the same latitude -- my desire to live at that latitude (directly proportional)
What is the length of day for Mercury in Earth days?
To understand the length of a day on Mercury, it is important to know the length of a Mercurian year. (Actually you don't need to know that.) Mercury orbits the sun in about 88 Earth days. It rotates on its axis (day) three times for every two orbits around the Sun (year). A Mercurian year lasts about one and a half Mercurian days. That's about 58.65 Earth days for the length of a day on Mercury. Remember though that this is called a "sidereal day". There's also another day called the "solar day". This is based on the apparent journey of the Sun round the sky. For Earth these two days are only slightly different, but for Mercury the difference is huge. The solar day is about 176 Earth days on Mercury.
Does a day need time for the sun to drift completely around the sky or the moon to drift completely around the sky or the earth to turn completely on its axis?
A day is defined by the time it takes the earth to spin once around it's axis.
What is the length of the day on the planet with the highest average surface temperature?
That planet is Venus. The rotation period of Venus is 243 Earth days. That's called a "sidereal day". On Earth the sidereal day is about 23 hours and 56 minutes. There is also the "solar day", based on the position of the Sun in the sky. On Earth, that's exactly 24 hours. On Venus the solar day is about 117 Earth days in length. As you can see, there is a huge difference in the lengths of the two days on Venus. That's because Venus rotates very slowly.
Were is the sun at 12pm in the day?
At its highest point in the sky that it will reach at any time in the day. Highest in the southern sky if you're in the northern Hemisphere, and highest in the northern sky if you're in the southern Hemisphere. (Ambiguous in the Tropic zone, depending on the time of year.)

What time of the day that the temperature is in a highest point?
At miday around 12 aclock, this is because the sun is highest in the sky meaning a direct tempreature hits the earth causing it to be the hottest time of day
What is summer solacis?
Summer solstice is the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It also marks the longest day of the year and is the first day of Summer.
Why June 21 is the longest day of the year?
Note that its only true in the northern hemisphere. That's the day (usually) that the Earth's north pole point most directly at the sun, thus the the day that the sun seems to be highest in the sky, thus the longest day (and shortest night).

What day of the year are shadows the shortest?
The day when your shadow is the shortest depends on where you are on the Earth. * In the northern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Summer Solstice * .In the southern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Winter Solstice. * At the equator the sun is directly overhead and your shadow is at its minimum at each of the equinoxes
What constellation is highest in the sky in the spring?
The answer depends on what part of the earth you are on.
Is the sun highest in the sky in summer or in winter?
On mid-summers day it is highest.
What time will the sun be highest in the sky?
The sun will APPEAR to be 'highest in the sky' at mid-day right on 12 o'clock. I hope this helps you. :)
What constellation is the highest in the sky during the spring?
The answer depends on what part of the earth you are on.
What is it called when the sun is its highest in the sky?
When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, it is called solar noon. This is when the sun is directly overhead or closest to being directly overhead at that particular location.
