How does the structure of the atom change as its position on the periodic table changes in reference to their respective groups and periods?
The number of protons and electrons is specific for atoms in a neutral state.
What describes your position on the earth?
Longitude and Latitude are generally what are used to describe your position on the earth. Longitude describes your East-West position relative to some point, and latitude describes your North-South position relative to the Equator. These were historically measured with astronomical observations, but are now most commonly determined by Global Positioning System instruments.
What evidence do we have for continental drift?
eathquakes are evidence for continental drifts... they cause tectonic plates to break apart eventually causing the different land forms to move into a different position
What season is earth in when it east of the sun?
"East of the Sun" does not make sense. The directions North, South, East and West are relative to the Earth's prime meridian and equator, or to a specific spot on the Earth, not relative to a position with respect to the Sun. Please restate the question.
How the four season forms?
The seasons are formed by the movement of the earth around the sun. Because the earth's axis is tilted, but not tilted toward the sun, as it moves around different portions receive more direct sunlight during different times of the year.
What do you need to describe the position of object?
we need a fixed reference point to describe the position of a body
What describes the position of an object?
a reference point i just had that test a while ago!
How can we describe an objects location in physics?
With coordinates. A reference frame is chosen (a point of origin, and directions), and the position is described with two or three numbers (one for each dimension required), in relation to the point of origin.
Identify three pieces of information needed to describe an objects position?
1.)Distance from the reference point. 2.)A reference point. 3.)Direction from the reference point.
Why is left and right not as useful as the cardinal directions when describing location?
Left and right describe direction in terms of the observer. In contrast, the cardinal directions are independent of the observer's position.
Is the Earth spins on its axis in different directions?
Yes. It depends on the position in its orbit.
State two characteristics of moving body?
1.There must be a reference point (stationary object ) to describe the position of the given body. 2. The position of the given body must continuously change with time and with respect to the reference point.
What can be describe as a change in position?
To move positions is to shift your body to a different spot
True or false A frame of reference is not necessary to describe motion accurately and completely?
It certainly is necessary. Sometimes it may be implied - for example, in practice, quite often planet Earth is used as a frame of reference. But whether it is implied, or explicitly stated, you always need a frame of reference to describe motion, or position.
Sexual position 69?

What is a position in scientific terms?
position is where a place can be describe. Like in stories where they can describe where they are.
Describe the position of an object in the room by using a standard reference point and a set of reference directions?
Beginning at the corner of the floor where the lamp is standing, the dog's head is at a point which is -- 6 feet along the wall towards the kitchen door -- 4 feet across the room towards the garage -- 2 feet up off the floor
