At which location is the altitude of polaris approximately 42 degrees?
If you are in Binghamton at the moment, 7:49 pm, 10/14 Polaris is at 41 degrees 57 minutes 21 seconds. I have 42 degrees 5 minutes as the north latiude of Binghamton. If you can move to 42 degrees 4 minutes, you will have an altitude for Polaris of almost exactly 42 degrees. Yes, Polaris does move a little; it is not perfectly in line with the earth's pole.
What part of the earth is experiencing night in the fall?
The Earth spins on an axis, around the sun, and at the same time rotating. The rotation around the sun is called the revolution, and it lasts about a year. A rotation is about a day, and when one part of the Earth is dark (facing away from the sun), the other side is bright (facing towards).
How does gravity make something move across the surface of earth?
the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.
How would areas of daylight and night would differ if a map represented June 21 instead of December 21?
its called revolution and its when the earth moves around the sun... for the earth to move completely around the sun it takes an entire year.
What causes Earth's seasons and days and nights?
Day and Night are caused by Earth's rotation on its axis. Seasons are caused by the inclination of Earth's axis of spin to the plane of its orbit round the Sun and the progress of its orbit round the Sun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The earth's rotations cause day and night. The earth makes one complete rotation roughly every 24 hours. At any point in that rotation, an area of the globe is facing the sun. This is day. As the Earth continues to rotate, eventually this same point will rotate away from the sun. The absence of direct sunlight is what constitutes night. The Earth's axis always remains pointing in the same direction as it revolves around the sun. As a result, the solar angle varies at a given place throughout the year. The variation in sun angle is the prime cause of our seasons.
Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as the earth rotates?
true
What causes the circumpolar stars to appear to move around polaris?
The apparent daily movement of the stars in the sky is a reflection of Earth's rotation. Earth rotates around its axis; as a reflection of this, the entire sky rotates around an "axis", which is simply the extension of Earth's axis. By chance, the star Polaris is almost exactly on the line of the Earth's axis, extended into space. So, as the Earth rotates the stars appear to rotate around Polaris. Circumpolar stars never go below the observer's horizon, so they just seem to go in circles around Polaris.
Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as Earth rotates?
Yes, Polaris always seems to "hover" over the North Pole.
Why does polaris not move as the earth rotates?
It does but only a little. It is almost directly above the Earth's North Pole so that the axis of rotation points towards Polaris.
Does polaris move as Earth rotates?
It appears to remain stationary above the North Pole and that is why it is important.
Does the moon or the sun move?
Answer 1) They all move. But the moon moves around the earth which goes around the sun which is spinning.Answer 2) Both move. The sun rotates on a fixed point. The moon rotates arounds a fixed point and also rotates around the Earth.
Does Polaris move when you move on earth?
Yes ! The Polaris Moves Comparatively To Earth !The Position Of The Polaris Is Not Constant .
Why do constellations appear to revolve around the Pole star?
This is because the Pole Star (i.e. Polaris, in the Northern hemisphere) is within a degree of the Earth's centre of rotation. That is, the north pole is in line with this particular star. Thus, as the Earth rotates, Polaris does not appear to move in the sky, and the rest of the stars appear to revolve around it.
Does the earth move in space?
The earth rotates itself and rotates around the sun. a full rotation around the sun is exactly a year. a full rotation of the earth itself is a day.
Which one of these do not move Sun Moon Earth?
Actually all moves. The sun rotates on its axis. The earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. The moon revolves around the earth
Why do the stars in the northern hemisphere appear to revolve around polaris?
That is because Polaris is vertically above the North Pole, so it's in line with the Earth's axis and it always stays in the same place in the sky as seen from any given place. As the Earth rotates everything else appears to move round it.
Does the sun rotate or move?
The sun rotates because it goes around the earth.
