What imaginary line can be used to measure the motion of celestial object?
The meridian :)
The greek astronomers explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon?
The Greek astronomer's explanation for the celestial spheres did not encompass the phenomenon of retrograde motion. The retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet to move in the opposite direction from the surrounding planetary bodies in the same system.
Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
Did Aristotle and Ptolemy reason that the celestial bodies must be provided with a source of motion?
it is true
What is the study of the motion of planet Earth and the other planets called?
Celestial Mechanics. Or Astronomy
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
Is motion observed from stationary or relative positions?
motion can be observed from any position
What is the description of motion?
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.
What governs earthly and celestial motion?
Gravity does.
What is the scientific description of motion?
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.
Does potential energy observed when an object is in motion?
No because its not mandatory for it to be in motion constantly inorder to be observed.
Why did Aristotle's geocentric theory fail to match the expected prediction?
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
In an equatorial telescope mounting located in California the axis to which the sidereal drive is attached must point toward the north celestial pole or ecliptic. or zenith. or horizon.?
Since the motion of any object in the sky centers around the Celestial Poles, and the purpose of the telescope's sidereal drive is to cancel that motion so that the object being observed appears motionless, the sidereal drive's axis must point toward the Celestial Pole. In California, the one on which to align your equatorial mount is the North Celestial Pole, since that's the one that's visible from anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
Who proposed circular motion for celestial objects?
Johannes Kepler
How can motion be observed?
by chronicly staring at it
What imaginary line can be used to measure the motion of celestial object?
The meridian :)
