How do you determine the altitude at which the celestial equator cuts the meridian?
The altitude at which the celestial equator intersects your local meridian is the complementof your latitude, i.e. the difference between your latitude and 90 degrees.On the equator: Your latitude is zero. (90 - 0) = 90. Celestial equator passes overhead.At the pole: Your latitude is 90. (90 - 90) = 0. Celestial equator coincides with the horizon.In New Orleans, Louisiana, or Durban, South Africa: Your latitude is 30. (90 - 30) = 60.Celestial equator intersects local meridian at 60 degrees above the horizon.
What are the places which the equator touches?
The equator is an imaginary line. It therefore does not touch anything
Where is 0 degree latitude?

Which direction does the prime meridian?
the prime meridian runs north and south. it perfectly intersects the equator that runs west and east.

What is the angular distance of aheavenly body from a fixed point?
If the fixed point is the intersection of the celestial equator and the hour circle that intersects the body's position on the celestial sphere, it is declination.
What is the origin of the word 'equinox'?
1) Either of two times of the year when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator and day and night are of equal length 2) (astronomy) either of the two celestial points at which the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic known as equinox yash patel
What is the name of a line that intersects a line?
It is a transversal line that intersects other lines.
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint?
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint bisects the segment.
How many corners have a triangle?
They don't have corners, but angle intersects. There are 3 angle intersects.
How do you draw a line that intersects two nonintersecting planes?
If the planes are non-intersecting, then they're parallel. Any line that intersects one of them intersects both of them.
