Which instrument could be used to make distant objects seem larger and nearer?

Telescope


A device that makes objects in space seem brighter and closer than they are?

A magnifying lens or telescope could achieve this effect by collecting and focusing more light from distant objects, making them appear brighter and larger. However, there is no device that can truly make objects in space seem closer than they actually are, as distance in space is vast and cannot be physically altered.


Why are objects in a passenger mirror larger than they appear?

The mirror is slightly convex (domed outward). This gives the mirror a larger viewing area. The trade-off for this larger viewing area is that objects seem smaller. One way to think about it is that you are viewing more stuff in the same size mirror. To fit more stuff in your view, the stuff you are viewing must be smaller.


do Object moving in the southern hemisphere curve to the right?

Yes, objects moving in the Southern Hemisphere appear to curve to the left due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving objects to be deflected to the left in the Southern Hemisphere and to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Consequently, if you observe an object moving in the Southern Hemisphere, it will seem to curve to the left relative to the direction of motion.


Name six factors that influence the visual weight of an object?

Size - Larger objects generally carry more visual weight. Color - Brighter or darker colors can affect the perceived weight of an object. Contrast - Objects with high contrast against their surroundings may appear heavier. Texture - Objects with more complex textures may seem visually heavier. Shape - Objects with more visually dominant shapes can have greater weight. Position - Objects placed closer to the center of a composition tend to have more visual weight.

Why is the imaginary sphere on which all objects in the sky seem to be located called the celestial sphere?

The imaginary sphere is called the celestial sphere because it provides a simplified model for understanding the positions and movements of celestial objects as they appear from Earth. By projecting the stars, planets, and other astronomical bodies onto this sphere, we can easily map their locations in the sky. This concept helps astronomers and navigators visualize the cosmos, despite the vast distances involved. The term "celestial" reflects its association with the heavens and the celestial bodies observed within it.


What do you call the imaginary dome of the sky to which the stars seem to be attached?

The imaginary dome of the sky to which the stars appear to be attached is called the celestial sphere. It is an imaginary sphere of infinite radius surrounding the Earth to which the stars and celestial bodies are fixed in our perception.


What is the relationship between the celestial sphere and the local sky?

In this context the celestial sphere could be considered the background of stars, planets, comets, etc., such as is visible on a clear night, as distinct from the local sky would include Earth's atmosphere and weather effects such as an observer is largely limited to during the day (with the exception of the closest star, our Sun). It's safe to say these are relatively independent - objects in the sky such as meteorological phenomena, artificial satellites, etc., would move and act independent of the celestial sphere. Remembering that Earth is a planet in space moving in an orbit (revolving around its primary) and also rotating on its axis - because of which, the celestial sphere would seem to spin over the course of 24 hours, and also change throughout the year with respect to objects inside the solar system because of its position in orbit.

When you observe objects in space why does it seem that the objects you observe are moving across the sky?
