Is summer and winter are caused by the earth's swinging back and forth 23.5 degrees from the vertical?
Well, kind of. The earth doesn't actually swing at all- it has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees, but it's always pointing in the same direction (precession notwithstanding- irrelevant for this question). Picture the earth orbiting around the sun with an arrow pointing out the top. The arrow is tilted 23.5 degrees to the side, of course. Now on one end of the orbit, the arrow will be pointing toward the sun, and on the other it will be pointing away. When the arrow is pointing toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has more direct exposure to sunlight, and that's what makes it summer. This is also why it's winter in the southern hemisphere at the same time. I included a link below to an animation that shows this quite clearly.
How is heat in the atmosphere distributed in vertical mixing process?
Heat in the atmosphere is distributed in vertical mixing process by means of convection. It is also known as the process of vertical distribution.
Which of these components of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?
Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
What causes a tornado to turn vertical?
The tornado itself is vertical when it first forms. The rotation that forms it starts out as what is called horizontal vorticity. This vorticity can get caught in the updraft of a thunderstorm, tilting it into a vertical position. The new vertical rotation joins with the updraft to become a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions the mesocyclone can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.
What time of the year is the northern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
By exposed it to vertical rays of the sun from the spring equinox to the automn equinox.
Which part of a cube is vertical?
Every edge that is pointing straight up and down is vertical.
A flagpole stands 30 feet above the ground. The base of the flagpole reaches 10 feet into the ground. What is the vertical distance between the highest and lowest points of the flag pole?
40
What is the same as vertical?
vertical is a line going up and down. Just remember that the "V" in vertical is like an arrow pointing straight down
What way is vertical?
Vertical is a relative term. It usually refers to a direction pointing in the opposite direction of Gravity. So if you are in outer space, then I guess there is no real "vertical" direction.
Which way is vertical?
Vertical is up and down, and horizontal is left to right.
How does vertical angle look?
Well it's hard to explain, but it's pointing up. ;)
What is the symbol for diode?
The symbol for a diode is a horizontal line with an arrow pointing to an intersecting vertical line, the horizontal line continues on the other side of the vertical line.
What does the maths term vertical mean?
If we were speaking of a stick, if we were going to maintain that stick in the mathematical position of VERTICAL, the stick would be placed and held so that one end of the stick were pointing straight up toward the sky and the distal end of the stick would result in pointing at a 180 degree angle pointing directly at the floor/ground.
Definition of vertical lines?
straight up or pointing to the zenith or in a direction at right angles to the surface of the earth
What is France's flag?
The flag of France is called the "Le Tricolor", adopted in 1790 it features three vertical bands colored royal blue, white and red (in that order from the flagpole).
What colors does the Afghanistan flag have?
It's divided into three vertical sections, coloured Black Red & green from the flagpole end.
What way does the french flag go up or sideways?
The French flag has red, white, and blue vertical bars (the blue bar is by the flagpole, the red bar is farthest from the pole)
