How far is Earth from Mars in Earth minutes?
Minutes are a unit of time, not of distance. Perhaps you mean LIGHT minutes, which refer to the distance light travels in a minute. Earth is 1 AU from the sun, which takes light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Mars is about 1.5 AU, so when earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun, the distance between them is 0.5 AU. Light would take four minutes, 10 seconds to cross that gap. When Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun, the distance between them is 2.5 AU, which would take light nearly 21 minutes to cross. On average, Earth and Mars would be at roughly right angles to the sun, so you could use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance of their hypotenuse: About 1.8 AU. I'll leave the conversion of this into light time as an exercise for the gentle reader.
If the sun and a star cross your local celestial meridian at exactly noon today which object will appear to cross your local celestial meridian first at exactly noon tomorrow?
The star will appear to cross the local celestial meridian first at exactly noon tomorrow. This is because stars have a small daily shift in their position due to Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing them to rise approximately four minutes earlier each day.
What is the travel distance between Earth and Mars?
If you could cross space directly and ignore Newton's laws like in Star Trek, You would need to cross between 54,710,000 and 401,307,000 kilometers depending on the current orbital/precession status of both planets. However, since current Earth spacecraft burn and coast into an elliptical orbit around the sun such that Mars' gravity will catch the spacecraft; the travel distance to Mars is less than about half of the circumference of Mar's orbit, or about 715 million kilometers, and more than about half of the circumference of the Earth's orbit, or about 470 million kilometers. Differences in designs of spacecraft can change these numbers drastically. Hence it is usually easier to simply refer to the direct line-of-sight distance between the planets.
Is it possible to place an object into a stable orbit that doesn't cross the equator?
I'm not sure what you mean by "a stable orbit". The Earth's center of mass ... nominally the Earth's center ... always lies in the plane of any Earth orbit, so the ground track of the orbit must either cross the equator or coincide with it.
What is it called when the sun and moon cross paths?
When the Sun and Moon cross paths, it's called a Solar Eclipse. If the Sun is in front of the Earth and the Moon is behind, then it's called a Lunar Eclipse.
How many minutes does it take for the sunlight to cross 93 million miles?
Sunlight takes around 8 minutes and 20 seconds to cross the 93 million miles from the Sun to Earth.

How many minutes does the sun takes to cross one degree of longitude?
The earth rotates 360o of longitude every 24 hours, so it takes 24 ÷ 360 hours to rotate 1o of longitude: 24 ÷ 360 hours = 24/360 hours = 1/15 hours = 1/15 x 60 minutes = 4 minutes The sun will cross 1o of longitude in the same time that the earth takes to rotate 1o of longitude, namely 4 minutes.
What is the cross section of earth?
It is a cross section of the Earth. It has no specific name. You can find one at the link below
What does earth symbol meaning?
The astronomical symbol for Earth is a cross surrounded by a circle. The cross probably comes from the Earth being personified as a Goddess, like Mother Earth.
What must happen for a solar eclipses to occur?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight from reaching Earth. The earth and moon must be in positions relative to the sun such that the moon's shadow falls on the earth's surface. The moon's orbit must cross the plane of the ecliptic.
How many minutes does it take for the Sun to cross one degree of longitude?
The Sun travels around the Earth once every 24 hours. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the Sun transits 15 degrees every hour (360 divided by 24). If it crosses 15 degrees in 60 minutes, it will cross one degree every 4 minutes (60 divided by 15).
Does any planet cross the earth's orbit?
There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.
