Why does the space shuttle's orbit apparently follow a wave pattern?
I think you mean, :why does the orbit of satellites, etc. look like a sine wave? Well, every orbit around the earth looks like a circular (or elliptical ring) whose center (or focus) is at the center of the earth. An orbit exactly above the equator is one such orbit, but any orbit can be tilted as long as the center (or focus) stays at the earth's center and the whole orbit is flat like a disk. On various maps this makes the orbit look like a wave, but on a globe it stays a flat circle (or ellipse).

Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb.
Whose punishment was it to hold apart earth and heaven?

What Circle on Earth's surface has the center of Earth as its center?
Any circle on the Earth's surface whose center is at the center of the Earth is called a "great circle". Any circle with its center anywhere else is called a "small circle". Spiritually, many consider the kaaba (Mecca) to be the center of the Earth's surface.
If a hole is drilled to the center of the earth and a stone whose mass is 1 kilogram at the surface of the earth is dropped into it then what is the weight at the center of the earth?
The weight of an object is its mass times the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of gravity at the center of the Earth is zero. A 1 kg mass at the center of the Earth still has a mass of 1 kg, but the force of attraction between the 1kg mass and all the other mass around it will add up to zero.
What is the mass of the stone when it is at the earths center if a hole is drilled to the center if the earth and stone whose mass is one kilo gram at the earth's surface is dropped into it?
One kilogram. Mass is invariant.The weight at that point is zero. But the mass doesn't change.
Which country is the furtherest away from Antarctica?
The furthest point from Antarctica would be near the geographic North Pole, which is in Canada. The country whose southernmost border is the furthest from Antarctica would be Iceland.
Are the great circles the shortest route around the globe?
-- The 'great circle' route is the shortest distance between any two places on Earth (or on any other sphere). -- A great circle is a circle on the surface whose center is at the center of the Earth. -- The phrase "around the globe" is really not too clear.
Whose theory of the universe was held for thousand of year but was wrong?
Claudius Ptolemy's (wrong) theory with the Earth at the center of the universe lasted for more than 1000 years
An angle whose vertex is in the center of a circle and whose sides intersect is called?
That's a "central angle", but the part that really fascinates me is this: What would it look like if you hadan angle whose vertex was in the center of the circle and whose sides didn't intersect ? ? ?
Whose geocentric theory of the solar system was accepted for 1400 years?
The Catholic Church held that the Earth was the center of the universe and all other planets and the sun revolved around the Earth. They did put to death those who insisted otherwise.
What is the equation of a circle whose center is at the origin and whose radius is 4?
x2 + y2 = 2
What is an angle whose vertex whose vetex is the center of a circle?
It will be the same angle subtended by its circumference.
What is the Hearing center whose cells connect with the brain?
Hearing center whose cells connect with the brain is known as the spiral ganglion. This is what will facilitate all audio signal transmission.
An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle?
That is the central angle.
