What happens during the apparent retrogate motion of a planet?
When that happens, the planet moves from east to west, from our point of view. This should not be confused with the daily motion of all stars + planets due to Earth's rotation; rather, to the planet's movement against the background of the stars.
Daily motion of sun across the sky is due to what?
Diurnal motion is an astronomical term referring to the apparent daily motion of stars in "orbit" around the Earth, caused by the Earth's rotation around its axis. It is a rotation around the axis between the two celestial poles.
What is cyclic movement?
Cyclic movement deals with human mobility. This defines your daily activity space. It is the commonplace daily movements we make offset by the occasional trip out of the area. Basically it involves journeys that begin at our home base and bring us back to it
How does the daily path of the sun across the sky change with the season?
The Sun's path in the sky will appear to change as a year passes. This path resembles a figure eight. The path is curved due to Earth's tilted axis. The path is long because the Earth makes an oblong orbit around the Sun. The path is technically called a Analemma. The movement of the sun isn't what causes the change of seasons on earth. It is the movement of the earth around the sun and the fact that the axis of rotation of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of solar rotation that gives rise to the changes we see as the seasons.
Why do stars shift westward?
Stars appear to shift westward because of the Earth's daily rotation. Also, there is a slower westward movement because of the annual motion of the Earth around the Sun.
What was the solution to the sun moving with or against people?
Not sure what you mean; the Sun has an apparent daily movement from east to west. Actually this apparent movement is caused mainly by Earth's rotation.
Which earth motion causes the apparent daily movement of the constellations?
The rotation of the earth around its axis.
How does the movement of earth cause the apparent daily and annual movement of the sun and star?
The earth is on a constant rotation and coincides with patterns of other stars as well as the sun and moon. Movement is natural in our atmosphere and always occurs.
What do you call the motion when a planet heads in the opposite direction?
A planet's predominant movement (NOT the daily movement related to Earth's rotation, but the apparent movement compared to the background stars) is from west to east. If a planet moves in this direction it is said to be "prograde", if it moves in the opposite direction, it is said to be "retrograde".
In what direction is the apparent daily motion of the sun?
It is westwards.
What causes the apparant movement of stars in the sky?
The real motion of stars is hardly noticeable even over a period of many years. It's the Earth's daily rotation the is the main cause of their apparent motion. (Stars are so far away that the Earth's revolution around the Sun hardly cases any apparent motion.)
Who does Apollo help?
Apollo does not really help anyone specifically, but he is in charge of controlling the sun's daily movement across the sky and can heal and inspire learning. He is said to protect young boys though.
What happens during the apparent retrogate motion of a planet?
When that happens, the planet moves from east to west, from our point of view. This should not be confused with the daily motion of all stars + planets due to Earth's rotation; rather, to the planet's movement against the background of the stars.
What is the analemma of the sun?
If you were to take a photograph of the Sun at noon each day, without moving the camera even a whisker, the daily path that the Sun would appear to take is a figure-8 pattern called an "analemma".
The daily movement of a ocean?
It is a Tide
What is the answer to 121 across Daily Record crossword?
mohair
Does the earth rotate around the sun or the other way around?
The Earth rotates around the Sun, once a year. The daily movement of the Sun across the sky is due to the rotation of the Earth around its own axis.
