What else can I help you with?
How can you prove that the earth is a sphere by looking at the pole star?
The fact that the Pole Star appears higher in the sky as you move towards the North Pole and lower as you move towards the equator indicates that the Earth is curved. The only shape that fits this observation is a sphere.
Which way does earth rotate?
If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would seethe earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
What are the celestial poles?
The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the imaginary rotating sphere of stars called the celestial sphere. The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North pole and South pole respectively. As the Earth spins on its axis, the two celestial poles remain fixed in the sky, and all other points appear to rotate around them, completing one circuit per day.
What is the imaginary line drawn throughout the earth from the North to the South pole?
The imaginary line drawn throughout the earth from the North to the South pole is called the Earth's axis. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, which results in the changing seasons.
Is the magnetic pole another name for the south pole?
No, the magnetic pole is not the same as the south pole. The Earth has geographic poles (North and South) and magnetic poles (North and South). The magnetic pole that aligns with the geographic North pole is actually the Earth's magnetic South pole.

Why isn't the world a perfect sphere?
The earth is not a perfect sphere because it is flatened somewhat at the north pole and south pole.
Why do photos from space show the earth as a perfect sphere?
Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.
The place where the extended axis of the Earth would touch the celestial sphere is called the celestial?
Pole
Do sphere magnets have poles?
Yes, sphere magnets do have poles. Due to their spherical shape, the poles are located at opposite points on the surface of the sphere. The poles are typically referred to as the north pole and the south pole.
Where is the celetial pole?
either of the two points in the celestial sphere where the earth's axis, if extended, would intersect
This is a riddle prove a triangle that has 3 90 degree angles and equal distance between angles?
It is a non-planar triangle. Eg on the surface of a sphere, from a "pole" to the "equator", a quarter of the way around the "equator" and back to the "pole". The earth is not quite right because it is not spherical, so you would not have equal distances between the angles.
Where might you find the celestial sphere celestial equator and celestial poles?
These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.
What fraction of the sky is visible from the south pole?
From the South Pole, 50% of the sky is always visible, while the remaining 50% is obstructed by the Earth. This is because as the Earth rotates, half of the celestial sphere is always blocked from view at any given time.
What the word equation mean?
The great circle of the Earth that is equidistant from the North and South Pole. It divides a sphere into two equal symmetrical parts
How is the earth is rotating whether in clockwise or anticlockwise?
It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.
