What else can I help you with?
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The point on the horizon that is due west has an altitude of zero and an azimuth of 270 degrees.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
What is the azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius?
The azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius depend where you are on Earth and the date and time. The altitude can be anything form 0-90, and the azimuth 0-180.
Where in the sky would a star with an azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?
A star with an azimuth of 180 degrees would be due south, and an altitude of 20 degrees would place it 20 degrees above the horizon. So, the star would be in the southern part of the sky, 20 degrees above the horizon.
Is Betelgeuse a binary star?
No. Betelgeuse is a single star.
What will be the azimuth and altitude of a star which setting directly in the northwest?
Azimuth = 315° (True) Altitude = 0
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The point on the horizon that is due west has an altitude of zero and an azimuth of 270 degrees.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
What Azimuth and altitude are used to describe the star?
Azimuth is the horizontal angular distance measured clockwise from true north, while altitude is the vertical angular distance above the horizon. Together, these coordinates help locate a star's position in the sky.
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of?
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of altitude, azimuth, and time.
What is the azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius?
The azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius depend where you are on Earth and the date and time. The altitude can be anything form 0-90, and the azimuth 0-180.
If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees and its altitude is 45 degrees where is this star in the sky?
If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees, it is located directly east on the horizon. An altitude of 45 degrees means that the star is positioned halfway up in the sky, forming a right angle with the horizon. Therefore, this star would be visible in the eastern sky at an angle that is halfway between the horizon and the zenith.
Does the rotation of the earth affect azimuth and altitude?
The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.
Where in the sky would a star with an azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?
A star with an azimuth of 180 degrees would be due south, and an altitude of 20 degrees would place it 20 degrees above the horizon. So, the star would be in the southern part of the sky, 20 degrees above the horizon.
Is Betelgeuse a yellow star?
No, Betelgeuse is a red star.
Is Betelgeuse a binary star?
No. Betelgeuse is a single star.
What are three reference points used to describe a star or planet's position in to a person's position?
This is probably about the "horizon coordinate system". Or, it's sometimes called the horizontal coordinate system. The system uses "altitude" and "azimuth" as coordinates. The azimuth is normally measured from due North as zero. So, that's the "three reference points", probably. Altitude is the angular height of a star above the horizon. Azimuth is the angle of a star measured along the horizon, from the pole.
