Why do objects in rearview mirrors appear closer than they are?
The mirror is convexed so it sees a larger area. If you see a larger area in the same size mirror then it is reasonable to understand that things are smaller which corresponds to further away. So, you must mentally realize that they are closer.
The further from the Equator the warmer?
No. The further you get away the colder.
Is there a planet further away than Pluto?
There are many planets further away from Pluto but they do not orbit the sun so they are not part of our solar system. There are also many stars that are further away from Pluto.
How does the relative distance of objects from the earth affects how they appear?
Other things being equal, the farther away an object is, the dimmer (less bright) it will appear. If no light is lost (due to gas or dust in the line of sight), there is an inverse-square law - for example, an object that is 10 times closer to another one, both of which have the same real brightness, will look 100 times brighter to us.
Why sun and moon looks like same size from earth?
Well the moon is smaller and closer, and the sun is larger and further away. We all know that the further away an object is the smaller it appears; it's just miraculous that the Earth, Moon and Sun are spaced apart at the perfect distances for the moon to appear almost exactly the same size as the sun.
If you look underwater are things further away or closer than they appear?
closer
Which option can make an object look closer or farther away than it actually is?
A Telescope. Look down the end with the eyepiece and things shall appear closer, look down the other end and things will look further away.
What happens to the particles if the mass increases?
they expand (get further away) and become lighter so it will rise :-)
According to linear perspective people and objects appear to get?
They appear to seem smaller the further away they are,and bigger the closer they get.
What are convex mirrors for?
they make objects appear more further away then they actually are
What are convex mirrors used for?
they make objects appear more further away then they actually are
Does a shadow change the further away from the light source?
Yes it does change, eventually the further away you go the lighter the shadow gets. And depending on if you move a couple of centimetres off, the shadow might start to contour!
When can the average person see things that are further away daytime or nightime?
The answer is at night. You can see the stars which are much further away than the sun.. the nearest star is 40 trillion kilometres away :)
Convex mirrors fitted to a car makes following cars appear to be?
Further away (smaller) than they actually are.
Which depth cue accounts for why parallel lines appear to grow closer together the further away they are?
monocular constancy
Why do stars and the sun appear different?
Stars appear different from the sun because the sun is closer to the earth and the other stars are further away from the earth so that's why the appear differently when you look at them in the sky!!!!!
Does an object get lighter the further it is away from earths surface?
Yes. Weight is the gravitational force X the mass of an object. The further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational force. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on top of Mt. Everest.
