What else can I help you with?
How many degrees north or south of the equator at noon for the March Equinox?
At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
What does Right Ascension mean?
Right ascension is essentially the longitude on a star chart where you may look to find something in the sky among the stars. The distance of a point east of the First Point of Aries, measured along the celestial equator and expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds.
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?
The length of day and night is nearly equal during the spring and autumn equinoxes because of the way the Earth is positioned in relation to the sun. During these times, the Earth's axis is neither tilted towards nor away from the sun, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the globe.
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.
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".
Is a strike-up in vertical or horizonal motion?
A strike-slip fault involves horizontal movement along the fault plane, where rocks on opposite sides slide past each other horizontally.
Is strike-slip fault vertical or horizontal motion?
Strike-slip faults involve horizontal motion along a fault plane, where one block moves laterally past the other. The motion is parallel to the strike of the fault rather than vertical movement.
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 fault has little or no vertical movements?
A fault with little or no vertical movement is called a strike-slip fault. In this type of fault, the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other, usually in a side-to-side motion. This movement can cause earthquakes when the stress along the fault overcomes friction and the rocks suddenly slip.
What is the difference of a dip slip fault or a strike slip fault?
In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the fault plane, either up (reverse fault) or down (normal fault). In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the fault plane, with minimal vertical movement. Both types of faults are caused by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust.
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 is common along strike-slip faults?
Common features along strike-slip faults include horizontal movement of rock blocks, offset of rock layers, fault scarps, and the presence of transform boundaries at plate margins. These faults are associated with lateral movement of adjacent rock masses along a fault plane, with minimal vertical displacement.
What is the main difference between a dip slip fault and a strike slip fault?
The main difference between a dip-slip fault and a strike-slip fault is the direction of movement. In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the dip direction of the fault plane, either up or down. In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the strike direction of the fault plane, either to the left or right.
When does strike-slip fault form?
Strike-slip faults form when rocks along a fault move horizontally past each other, without much vertical movement. These faults are common in transform plate boundaries, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
What happens to rock along a strike-slip?
The rock is very visible by strike-slip
