What are two reference points on earth?
They are North Pole and South Pole
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
What are the reference point for latitude and longitude?
The latitude and longitude references are lines, not points. The reference for latitude is the line that forms a circle and consists of all points with zero latitude. That line is called the "equator". The reference for longitude is the line that forms a semi-circle and consists of all points with zero longitude. That line is called the "Prime Meridian".
What does Tin Cut Crystals mean?
General reference points to RC Rosary Beads with Glass Crystals.
How long does it takes the sun to move from points 3 to 5?
The sun does not physically move between points 3 and 5. The points on Earth's surface experience the perception of the sun's movement due to Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete, resulting in the cycle of day and night.
How important are the reference points in a coordinate system?
If the reference points are not correct, the location of any coordinate will be incorrect.
What are useful reference points?
Reference points are used in order to easily access information that is in a larger collection of data.
What is the outward from the center of rotation?
I think you mean the centrifugal force. That force points outwards from the center of rotation.
Why are there longitude and latitude lines?
They are important for tracking and mapping points and places.
Do pilots allow for Earth's rotation when navigating?
It depends on the method of navigation. The motion of a ship or aircraft is relative to the earth, so inertial navigation or navigation by dead reckoning do not have to take the Earth's rotation into account. Similarly, if the pilot of a ship or aircraft is navigating by visible points of reference or by terrestrial radio beacons, then the rotation of the Earth does not have to be taken into account.However, if the pilot is relying on celestial navigation, then the rotation of the earth must be taken into account, because the stars are being used as a frame of reference. Similarly, if the navigation relies on GPS, the GPS system must include the rotation of the Earth in its calculations, as the orbital planes of the GPS satellites are aligned to distant stars and do not move with the rotation of the Earth.
what Navigation at sea requires the use of many points and lines to reference location and trajectory.What are the minimum points of reference needed to determine a trajectory (line)?
2 points
3 The rotation of the Earth's axis is at degrees from the celestial pole?
The earth's axis of rotation points directly at the celestial pole.
How reliable is shipment tracking and what is the technology used for tracking shipments all around the globe?
Shipment tracking is fairly reliable, but susceptible to human error. Tracking works by scanning shipments at terminal points and using GPS to determine the location of invididual trucks.
What is the Distributor points gap?
.016 as a reference
What are the points on the Earth that are intersected by the earth's axis of rotation?
The north and south poles.
What motion of the earth causes day and light?
rotation along its axis points
A number line used to reference points?
An axis.
