What is the relationship between the time of year and the angle of the sun in the sky?
The angle of the Sun in the sky, its maximum height above the horizon, depends on a measurement called its declination, which varies over a range of ±23.5 degrees. The Sun's declination is zero at the equinoxes, and is +23.5 degrees at the summer solstice (in the northern hemisphere), the longest day, and -23.5 degrees at the winter solstice, the shortest day. Declination is the Sun's latitude on the celestial sphere, and the declination of any obect is equal to the latitude of a set of points along a line of latitude on the Earth's surface at which it passes overhead.
Sunspots are most numerous in the sun in solar maximum or solar minimum?
Sunspots are most numerous during solar maximum, which occurs approximately every 11 years. During solar minimum, the sun is less active and sunspot activity decreases.
Sun spots increase and decrease on a cycle of how many years?
Sun spots follow an 11-year cycle, known as the solar cycle. This cycle includes periods of maximum activity (solar maximum) and minimum activity (solar minimum), with the number of sunspots peaking during the solar maximum phase and decreasing during the solar minimum phase.
What is the sun's declination on the fall equinox?
Ah, the fall equinox is such a special time when the sun shines directly on the equator. Its declination is zero because it is right over that imaginary line. Nature is always keeping us in balance and harmony. Just visualize that warm sunlight hugging the Earth with love and peace. Stunning! Keep painting those happy little equations, my friend.
When does the sun have adeclination of zero degrees today but will have a negative declination tomorrow?
The Sun has zero declination at the two equinoxes on March 21 and September 21 (approximately). At the autumn equinox in September it crosses the plane of the Earth's orbit from north to south, so its declination goes from positive to negative.
At what point sun's declination is minimum?
This only happens on the fall equinox, the dividing line between summer and fall. If you live in the northern hemisphere, this happens on September 21 (plus or minus one day because of the cycle of leap years) and in the southern hemisphere on March 21.
What are the names of the times when the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator?
Those are the solstices, two per year, when the Sun is at maximum declination.
What is the declination of Arcturus to reflect maximum velocity of revolution for earth?
The declination of Arcturus is approximately +19 degrees. This star is located in the northern hemisphere sky. The maximum velocity of Earth's revolution occurs around January 3rd, when Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit, a position known as perihelion.
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.
How far is the planet Mars?
Distance from the Sun: Minimum 206,000,000 km to Maximum 249,000,000 kmDistance from Earth: Minimum 56,000,000 km to Maximum 399,000,000 km
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
What is the relationship between the time of year and the angle of the sun in the sky?
The angle of the Sun in the sky, its maximum height above the horizon, depends on a measurement called its declination, which varies over a range of ±23.5 degrees.

Sunspots are most numerous in the sun in solar maximum or solar minimum?
Sunspots are most numerous during solar maximum, which occurs approximately every 11 years. During solar minimum, the sun is less active and sunspot activity decreases.
What was the Sun declination on March 20 2010?
At 12:00 Noon Eastern Time on 3/20/2010, the sun's declination was -0.025 degree.
What Christmas word means 'turning of the sun'?
Are you referring to "solstice", the time when the Sun reaches its maximum northern or southern declination? Other than a coincidence of the calendar, there isn't anything specific that connects the solstice to Christmas.
What is Jupiters average distanse from the sun?
The average distance from Jupiter to the Sun is : Maximum:74,029,824 km Minimum:74,000,000 km
What is the maximum and minimum distance between Earth and Jupiter?
The maximum distance between Earth and Jupiter is about 601 million kilometers when they are on opposite sides of the Sun (opposition). The minimum distance is around 588 million kilometers when they are on the same side of the Sun (conjunction).
