What else can I help you with?
What is the maximum possible elevation of the sun above the horizon at the equator?
90 degrees100 gradspi/2 radians
What is the difference between radio horizon and optical horizon?
radio signal bents around the curvature of earth and hence travel longer distance than the line of sight signal. At ultra high frequencies signal follows the line of sight path and hence maximum communication distance is limited due to curvature of earth for given height of transmitting and receiving antenna
Where is the zenith of a mountain?
The zenith of a mountain refers to its highest point or peak. It is the summit where the elevation is at its maximum compared to the surrounding terrain. This apex often provides panoramic views of the landscape below and can be a challenging destination for hikers and climbers.
When shadow is tallest?
The shadow is tallest when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky, typically in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is closer to the horizon. At this time, the angle between the sun, the object casting the shadow, and the ground is at its maximum, resulting in a longer and taller shadow.
Is there ever 24 hours daylight at the two poles at the same time?
On the equinoxes the poles both have common day of 24 hors of sunlight as the sun circles the horizon. Until the next equinox one pole has shorter days while the other maintains its 24 hours of daylight while the sun rises higher in the sky intil it reaches its maximum elevation of 26 degrees on the summer of winter solstice (depending on the pole)
What is the maximum possible elevation of the sun above the horizon at the equator?
90 degrees100 gradspi/2 radians
What is the elevation of surrey?
It ranges from a minimum elevation of 0 to a maximum of 134 meters.
What is the elevation of Istanbul?
944 feet maximum
How do star help the sailors?
The stars are "fixed" in their positions in space. (Well, they actually do move - but because of the vast distances, they don't appear to move appreciably over the course of a human lifetime.) So, observing the rise times of certain stars and their precise elevations above the horizon will enable us to calculate our location on the surface of the Earth. The star Polaris is very nearly directly above the North Pole; so, measuring the elevation of Polaris above the horizon will tell us our latitude within 0.7 degrees. if we also have an accurate watch, we can calculate our latitudes quite accurately. One of the easiest celestial observations to make is the "local apparent noon" sight of the Sun. Using your sextant, measure the elevation of the Sun above the horizon. Continue to observe the Sun as its elevation increases, and note the precise time and elevation when the Sun reaches its maximum elevation. This is a one-sight "fix" of your position. The time of "local apparent noon", compared to your watch, will give you your longitude; the elevation above the horizon makes the math easy to calculate your latitude. This does require an ACCURATE watch, and a nautical almanac showing the true position of the Sun in the sky. _______________________ Question moved to the Discussion page.
What is the elevation of an airplane?
It can be anywhere from 0 to a maximum of about 80,000 feet.
What is the maximum elevation of shark island?
The top of the coconut tree, where the shaman is.
Which nation has the worlds lowest maximum elevation for a coutry?
The country with the world's lowest maximum elevation is the Maldives. Its highest point is only 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) above sea level.
What is the maximum 20 minute walk distance from this location?
The maximum distance you can walk in 20 minutes from this location is about one mile.
What is the maximum possible IQ that a person can achieve?
The maximum possible IQ score that a person can achieve is 200.
What is the maximum g force experienced near the event horizon of a black hole?
The maximum g-force experienced near the event horizon of a black hole can be extremely high, reaching values that are millions or even billions of times greater than the force of gravity on Earth.
What is the maximum possible value of x?
If x is the unknown or variable in an equation it can have many possible maximum or minimum values
What is the maximum possible IQ score that a person can achieve?
The maximum possible IQ score that a person can achieve is 200.
