How Does A Flagpoles Shadow Change Over A Year?

The shadow of a flagpole changes throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the position of the sun in the sky. In the summer, when the sun is higher in the sky, the shadow is shorter, while in the winter, when the sun is lower, the shadow is longer. This change occurs as the Earth orbits the sun, causing the angle of sunlight to vary.


How does air travel at the poles?

The cold dense air at the poles sinks, so the air from the upper level of atmosphere flows in on the top of the increasing weight while creating an area of high pressure at the poles. Now, the air that rises at the equator does not flow directly to the poles.


What do polar orbiting satellites do?

Polar orbits pass over the north and south poles of the Earth.


Which part of the Earth can observe a total eclipse?

Half the Earth (all that see the Moon at that time) can see when there is a total eclipse of the Moon (Moon goes into Earths shadow).Only a very small portion of the surface of the Earth is in total shadow during a total eclipse of the Sun (the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth).This totality shadow can be anywhere from several hundred kilometers wide (especially if it is glancing, near the poles as it will be in March of 2015) down to nothing (an annular eclipse if the moon is far enough away in its elliptical orbit).Over the Equator at maximum eclipse the swath that is in total darkness seldom is wider than 200 km and never more than 270 km.


When the moon or earth casts a shadow over the other?

When the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow on the Moon, creating a lunar eclipse. When the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, it casts a shadow on the Earth, creating a solar eclipse.

How much lower should the Olympic flag be hung under the U.S. flag?

If on the same halyard, it just has to be lower than the US flag - like in the same spot as would exist a state flag. When on separate poles, the US Flag (when on American soil) will always have preference and be the highest over the others, and no flags are to be flown to the right of the US Flag.

What did you notice about the shape of the shadow compared to the shape of the object?

The shape does not change, only the length, depending on where the light comes from. Such as on a sundial, and the shadow gets longer or shorter over hours.

How are positions in geographic compared to magnetic poles?

Geographic poles refer to the Earth's axis points where it meets the surface (North and South Poles), while magnetic poles refer to points where the Earth's magnetic field is the strongest. These poles do not align exactly; the geographic poles are fixed, while the magnetic poles can shift position over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
