Can sharks sense electromagnetic fields to help find food underwater?
Yes. Using a system known as 'Ampullae of Lorenzini' they can detect flex of muscles of nearby prey. This system is common to all sharks.
Which system the nervous system or the endocrine system best suited to detect danger?
The nervous system
How did aristotles' inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the solar system?
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary.

I had the same question
A system of objects in orbit around your sun?
solar system
What objects are in orbit outside of the solar system Periodically earth passes through their orbits?
If the objects are in orbit around the sun then they are in the Solar System.
What object can detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
The Radio Telescope
Which radar system can only detect objects approaching or moving away from the receiver?
Frequency-shift
Which instrument has been to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
the radio telescope
Which instrument has been used to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
the radio telescope
What is the correct definition of sonar?
1. A system using transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distance to the floor of a body of water.2. An apparatus, as one in a submarine, using sonar.3. Echolocation.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sonar

What do small objects in space have in common?
Small objects that we can detect in space are all in the solar system and they all orbit the Sun and obey Kepler's laws of planetary motion, as do all the planets, asteroids etc.
What is sonar and how does it detect aeroplanes?
Sonar is the generic name of the technology that is used to locate objects underwater. Sonar systems are of two basic types - active and passive. In active sonar the system let's out a pulse of sound and then the operator listens for echoes. The passive sonar the operator listens to sounds emitted by the object one is trying to locate.
What are the functions of a radar?
To detect, track, and sometimes identify objects via the emission of radio waves. Speed radar (like those used by police) can detect nearby objects and calculate their speed. Weather radar can detect the location of clouds and rain. Air traffic radar can detect and track unidentified flying objects. With the help a monopulse secondary surveillance radar, the radar system can identify the individual planes. Higher technology radars can detect and identify distant small objects with great precision.
What is a device that bounces sound waves off underwater objects?
Any sound waves that happen to be propagating through the water will bounceoff of any objects that are there. No device is required to make that happen.A system that intentionally generates sound waves underwater, and then receivesand analyzes those that return after bouncing off of something in the water, is aSONAR system.
Air craft detecting device?
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircrafts.
What is the role of radar in ATC?
Radar system sends out radio waves to detect moving objects in the air. When the echo comes back, time is measured and distance is calculated. This process continues.
