What else can I help you with?
Does the stars move parallel to the horizon or at a large angle to the horizon?
Stars appear to move across the sky in arcs that are at a large angle to the horizon due to the rotation of the Earth. As the Earth rotates from west to east, stars rise in the east and set in the west, tracing a path that varies with their celestial latitude. This motion can create different angles relative to the horizon depending on the observer's location and the star's position in the sky.
When the moon crosses the eastern side of the horizon plane is it rising or setting?
its rising because the moon moves like the sun, from east to west.
Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?
While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.
Does the sun rise in the east in the summer?
Yes, the sun rises in the east year-round. However, its exact position along the eastern horizon can shift slightly with the changing seasons. During the summer solstice, the sun rises at its northernmost point on the horizon, and during the winter solstice, it rises at its southernmost point.
If the sun is facing east and is low to the horizon is it morning or afternoon?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So if the sun is facing east then it must be in the west and it will be evening.
What horizon does the sun rise and set on?
The sun rises on the eastern horizon and sets on the western horizon. Twice a day you won't need a compass to find your direction.
What is a horisontle line?
A horizantal line is a line that runs from east to west or west to east and kind of looks like the line of the horizon. That's how I remember it.
The celestial equator always crosses the horizon at the east point and west point?
This is true. The celestial equator ... the line of zero declination ... crosses the horizon due east and due west. However, the ecliptic ... the apparent path of the sun through the stars ... is inclined to the celestial equator, and can hit the horizon anywhere within 23.5 degrees north or south of the east-west directions, depending on the time of day and day of the year.
When you observe a star on the celestial equator for a period of a few hours what can you notice?
moves from east-to-west relative to the horizon
When the moon crosses the western side of the horizon plane is it rising or setting?
If you see the Moon on the western horizon, it is setting in the sky.Both the moon and the sun RISE IN THE EAST AND SET IN THE WEST.
When the moon crosses the eastern side of the horizon plane is it rising or setting?
its rising because the moon moves like the sun, from east to west.
How do you find the characteristic of the Sun appears to 'rise' in the east?
Sunrise is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sunappears above the horizon in the east. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins.
On which coast of Florida will you find biscayne bay east or west?
You would find it on the east side
The longitudes divide the earth into which direction-east west north or south?
Lines of Logitude run from pole to pole. Thus they measure the divide from east to west. The easy way to remember is that lines of Latitude are Horizontal, in the same way the Horizon is.....
How do you find north south east west?
find the resultant of the following displacement a=20km 30south of east
Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?
While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.
Where does the sun set down at?
The sun sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. This daily phenomenon occurs as the Earth spins on its axis, causing the sun to disappear below the horizon in the evening.
