How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?
Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.
How does the altitude of the solar noon change from December 21 to June 21?
47 degrees.
How would the Moon appear to an observer in space during its revolution Would phases be observable Explain?
During the Moon's revolution, an observer in space would see the moon, but would not be able to see it spin around. From far to the north, about the solar system, the moon would appear to make a squiggly
What is solar altitude?
How high the sun is in the sky. The angle between the horizon and the sun. When the sun is directly overhead (eg, at the equator) the solar altitude is 90°. In Canberra in winter, the solar altitude is 30°.
Why is solar eclipse occur?
There are different kinds of solar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when an astrological body blocks view of the sun. If the observer is standing on the earth, and the moon moves in between the observer and the sun, that is an eclipse. If the observer is standing on earth's moon, and the earth moves between the observer and the sun, that is also an eclipse.
Where is the observer during a solar eclipse?
If you can see the solar eclipse, then you are in the Moon's shadow.
How does altitude of the solar noon sun change from December 21 to June 21?
the tilt goes towards the sun, the seasons chang from winter to summer
How does a solar flare appear in x-rays?
solar flares appear as a dark spot
Would solar panels generate more power at a higher altitude?
When you are at a higher altitude there is less air to dissipate the sunlight, and solar panels increase in efficiency at colder temperatures.
What comes between when there is solar eclipse?
The Moon comes between the Sun and the observer in this case.
How is the altitude angle and zenith angle related to latitude and declination?
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
If you traveled to the outermost planet in our solar system do you think the constellations would appear to change their shapes?
It would only change very slightly. You would need instruments to detect that small of a change.
