What is the direction of the big dipper?
The Big Dipper always points toward the North Star, also known as Polaris. This makes it a useful tool for navigation, as it can help you find north in the night sky.
What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.
What direction does the Earth's axis always point in?
Currently, the north end of the Earth's rotation axis points toward a point in the skythat happens to be only about 1/3 of a degree from a relatively bright star. The resultis that the star seems to never move, and is called "The North Star".
Which direction is gravity pointing?
The forces due to gravity act along the line between the centers of two masses. That means that the Earth is attracted toward your center of mass, and you are attracted toward the center of the Earth, both with equal force. We typically refer to that direction as "down".
What does earth's axis point towards?
Currently the Earth's pole points toward Polaris in Ursa Minor. 5000 years ago it pointed towards Vega.
Do Muslims pray to mecca in any direction depending on their location at the time?
I don't think they do because they must be facing in the exact direction of Mecca. Muslims have a special compass that always points in the direction of Mecca. So it tells them which way to face when praying. Muslims do pray toward the direction Mecca based on where they are that that time. *As close as you can get to praying exactly toward Mecca.*
What are the four main points on compass called?
North south east and west
What direction Earth gravitational force acts in?
-- Gravitational force always shows up as a pair of equal forces, between the centers of two masses, and in the directions that pull the masses toward each other. -- If you 'weigh' 100 pounds, that means that one gravitational force of 100 pounds pulls you toward the center of the Earth, and the other gravitational force of the pair ... also 100 pounds ... pulls the Earth toward the center of you. -- We have a name for the direction of the force that pulls us toward the center of the Earth. We call that direction "down". It's actually many different directions at different places on Earth, but it always points toward the Earth's center, and we always call it "down".
What direction should the arrow on a fuel pump go when installing?
The fuel pump arrow points away from the fuel tank and points toward the engine.
What is the direction of the big dipper?
The Big Dipper always points toward the North Star, also known as Polaris. This makes it a useful tool for navigation, as it can help you find north in the night sky.
What happens to the southern hemisphere when earths hemisphere points toward the sun?
by what ever end is in summertime right now. That is how you will know which hemisphere is pointing toward the sun.
Which best describes the parallelism of the earths axis?
The axis is always aimed toward a point in the sky near Polaris :))
How is Earths tilted axis is responsible for seasons?
earths axis is responsible for seasons because if its tilted toward the sun then it would be summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern now if it was tilted away from the sun then it would be winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere
What direction does gravity act on a plane?
Gravity acts downward relative to the position of the plane. This means that gravity points towards the center of the Earth, pulling the plane and everything on it towards the ground.
Needle on compass always points to what pole?
The magnetic poles of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS (used to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'Magnetic North'), and do NOT describe their magnetic polarities. As 'unlike poles attract', the north pole of the compass needle points towards Magnetic North, whose polarity must, therefore, be south. By extension, the polarity of Magnetic South is north.
What direction does the tail of a comet point in relation to the sun?
Away from the sunThe Tail of a Comet always points Away from the Sun.
What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.
