What is the divine cross?
The Devine Cross - In the sky there is a great cross that does not move formed by a line along the plain from the center of the galaxy to its edge and the other line is formed along an intersecting plane with a line from the center of the celestial equator to the southern point. The center intersecting point is the center of the Milky Way referred to as the gap or the Dark Riff. This coordinate is fixed. The Mundane Cross - Also referred to as the terrestrial cross, is viewed from the ground. It is formed by the ecliptic intersect of the Equinox and the Solstice. (These points of intersection are called equinoctial points-the vernal point and the autumnal point.)
Why length of day and night is same in spring and autumn?
At the equinoxes, day and night are approximately the same length. The equinoxes are the beginning of Spring (around March 21 in the northern hemisphere), and the beginning of Autumn (around September 23 in the northern hemisphere). I said "approximately" because day and night are not exactly equal, due to the diameter of the Sun, and refraction in the atmosphere. dummyITS EXUINOX
Does the center of gravity always have to be located withing an object?
No. The center of gravity of a wedding ring is in the space at the center of the ring. The center of gravity of the letter ' V ' is somewhere along the vertical line between the two slanted lines.
What is the Speed of a hot air balloon?
Horizontal speed would be expressed in Miles Per Hour, but vertical speed would be in Feet per minute , measured by a variometer ( or rate of climb indicator- measuring also descent and balanced at 0 at 270 degrees ( West) by analogy with a compass. 270 is the Null point, one then reads up or down. as these are essentially vertical aircraft= along with an altimeter, the variometer would be a basic instrument.
What does an H-R diagram relate a star's temperature to?
The temperature is displayed along the horizontal axis while the vertical axis is the star's absolute magnitude. So the HR diagram is a scatter diagram relating temperature and brightness, and eah star occupies one point.
When does the vernal equinox 2010 occur in California?
The Vernal Equinox is a point in the sky along the 'track' that the sun appears to follow through the stars in the course of the year. In 2010, the center of the sun reached that point at 10:30 AM PST on March 20.
Astronomers measure what kind of ascension eastward from the vernal equinox?
The question could have been written more clearly, I think.Anyway, the answer is "right ascension".That's one of the coordinatesused to define the positionof an objectin the sky on the "celestialsphere".It is angular distance, measuredeastward from the Vernalequinox, along the "celestialequator".
How long is the northern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
Some part of the northern hemisphere is exposed to vertical rays of the Sun from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox (slightly more than half a year because the Earth is further away from the sun during the northern hemisphere summer, it moves slower along it orbit).
What are the dates of the twice yearly equinox?
It varies, mostly on how far along we are in the 4-year cycle of leap years and the 400-year cycle of leap centuries and on what part of the world you're asking about (although it's Friday morning where I live, it's Saturday in some parts of the world). Lately, in the U.S., the vernal equinox has been falling around March 20, and the autumnal equinox around September 22, although this year it's on the 23rd.
What happens to rock along a strike-slip?
The rock is very visible by strike-slip
How do strike slip faults?
strike-slip faults move along each other from shearing
What monitors both vertical and horizontal movements along fault?
GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar monitor both vertical and horizontal movements along the fault.
How many people does a Chevy Equinox seat?
Not enough when you factor in the mechanic you'll have to bring along.
Aforce of 50N acts along the horizontal what is its vertical compenents?
If the force is aligned with the horizontal, then its vertical component is zero.
Vertical line along the left side of the graph and the horizontal line along the bottom?
These are the axes.
What type of movement along normal faults?
vertical... i think
What lines always have an undefined slope.?
Vertical lines always have an undefined slope. Slope for y = f(x) is given by :slope = dy/dxdx is zero at any point along a vertical line, making the slope undefined along a vertical line.
