What is the largest man moving object?

the largest moving object is a train I believe the largest man made moving object is a oil tanker called the Jahre Viking which has a dead weight of 564,763 tons and is so big it can't navigate through the English Channel, it carries a cargo close to its own weight. The longest man made moving object was train making a one off train journey in Australia consisting of 8 AC6000 locomotives pulled 682 wagons loaded with iron ore, the train weighed circa 100,000 ton and the cargo weighed about 80% of this weight. The train was 4.6 miles long The largest manmade moving object on the earth is a oil and gas seismic survey vessel called the Ramform Viking and is produced by PetroGEO Services (PGS). And it collects more than 1.12 Terabytes of seismic survey data per day. The surveyor with its 10 streamers at 120 m separation is more than a kilometer wide and more than 8 km long covering a surface area of 8.75 km2 at any time. Moving at a speed of 4.3 knots it is covering a total surface area of 215 km2 per day in full production. It represents the largest moving object on the face of the earth, bigger than any seismic spread ever deployed and bigger than anything else moving on land or at sea.

The partial or total blocking of one object in space by another?

The partial or total blocking of one object in space by another is known as an "occultation" when referring to celestial bodies. This phenomenon occurs when one object passes in front of another from the observer's perspective, temporarily obscuring it. For example, a planet may occult a star, making the star temporarily invisible. Such events are valuable for astronomers as they can reveal information about the objects involved, such as their size and atmosphere.


An eclipse is whenever sunlight is?

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes between another and the sun, blocking the sunlight. This can result in a partial or total obstruction of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth or the other body.


Is it true that the umbra is the inner part of the shadow?

Not precisely. The umbra is the TOTAL part of the shadow. In a total eclipse, where the eclipsing object is spherical, then the "inner" part of the shadow is the umbra, but in a partial eclipse, there IS NO umbra; just the "penumbra", the partial shadow.


What causes a solar eclipese?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on Earth, creating partial or total darkness during the eclipse.


What occurs when an object in space gets between the sun and another object and casts its shadow on the other object?

When an object in space, such as a moon or planet, passes between the Sun and another object, it can block sunlight and cast its shadow on that object. This phenomenon is known as an eclipse. If the object casting the shadow is large enough and completely obscures the Sun from the perspective of the other object, a total eclipse occurs; otherwise, a partial eclipse may be observed. Eclipses can provide valuable scientific insights and are significant events in astronomy.


How can one general ''eclipse'' another?

One total eclipse can overshadow the other that is partial.


What is the total pressure of a gas mixture containing partial pressure of ATM and 089 ATM?

To find the total pressure of a gas mixture, you simply add the partial pressures of the individual gases. In this case, if one gas has a partial pressure of 1 ATM and another has a partial pressure of 0.89 ATM, the total pressure would be 1 ATM + 0.89 ATM = 1.89 ATM.


What is the total path length transverse by an object in moving from one point to another?

the object's displacement.


What causes solar eclips?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on the Earth, resulting in either a partial or total solar eclipse.


What are the parts of the eclipse?

And eclipse may be partial or total, or penumbral or umbral. In a total (umbral) eclipse, the umbra of an object's shadow falls upon another object. Umbral solar eclipses are significantly rarer than any other type of eclipse. In a penumbral eclipse, an object's partial shadow, or penumbra, falls upon the other object.


How Many General Types Of Eclipses Are There?

There are two general types of Eclipse. They are Solar(Sun) and Lunar(Moon). Each of these eclipses can then be further classified into Total or Partial. Total is where the obscuring body completely blocks light from the third body. Partial is where the obscuring body only covers part of the third body.


Do partial or total lunar eclipses happen more often?
