What else can I help you with?
If I was standing at the Earth's North Pole what would be located at the Zenith?
If you're standing exactly on the north Pole, then during the six months when the sun never rises, Polaris ... the "Pole" star or "North" star ... makes a tiny circle directly over your head once a day, about 1/3 of a degree from the North Celestial Pole. Everything else in the sky circles the same point once a day, but in much larger circles.
How many days dose it take for the moon to circle the sun?
The moon does not circle the sun directly, it circles the earth. so it would be approximately the same as how long the earth takes, about 365 days.
Which satellite makes the crop circles?
There is no man made satellite that makes crop circles.
Where can crop circles be found the most?
Crop circles are most commonly found in the United Kingdom, particularly in areas like Wiltshire and Hampshire. These regions have a high number of reported crop circles due to the relatively large amount of farmland and open spaces.
Why is important to study circles?
Studying circles is important because they are fundamental geometric shapes that appear in various aspects of mathematics, such as geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Understanding circles helps in solving real-world problems related to areas, angles, and curves. Additionally, circles are prevalent in nature and man-made designs, making this knowledge applicable in everyday life.
Which of these is an imaginary line that circles the earth at 23.5 N latitude?
The Tropic of Cancer is the imaginary line that circles the Earth at 23.5°N latitude. It marks the northernmost point where the sun appears directly overhead at noon during summer solstice.
Which imaginary line circles the earth at 23.5 s latitude?
23.44° south latitude is the Tropic of Capricorn. It is the farthest south that the sun can ever be directly overhead (on the December solstice).
How will the constellations move across the sky if you are standing at the North Pole?
If you are standing at the North Pole, the constellations will appear to rotate counterclockwise around the North Star (Polaris). This is because the North Star is directly above the North Pole, and as the Earth rotates on its axis, the stars appear to move in circles around it.
Why are the sunrays never vertical on the poles?
Because the poles are at no point directed straght towards the sun, its due to the Earth being upright (with a small tilt) as it circles the sun. The sun will never be directly overhead outside the tropics.
What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizon at noon in Jakarta Indonesia on the winter solstice(Assume the latitude of Jakarta is 6(Degrees south)?
At the time of the southern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which circles Earth at 23.44° north latitude. So at 6° south latitude the sun appears 29.44° from the zenith (a location's zenith is directly overhead). Since there are 90° between the zenith and the horizon, the angle for which you are looking is the difference between 90° and 29.44°, 60.56°.

Is it always very warm at the equator?
Climate is a very complicated subject, but in general, yes, it is usually warmer at the equator than at the tropics, which in turn are generally much warmer than the arctic and antarctic circles. It's a bit more complicated than that, though, because the earth is tilted with respect to its orbit. It all has to do with where the sun is directly overhead. In the northern winter, for example, the sun is directly overhead of the tropic of Capricorn (southern tropic), and so the light is more direct there, while at the tropic of Cancer (northern tropic) the light is coming in at a bit of an angle, making it less intense. This is further complicated because cooler air is denser than warmer air and will push warmer air up and away, and even worse, the earth is rotating. Warm air from where the sun is directly overhead can flow to where the sun is less intense, making it hotter there, while cooler air from less warm climes can flow into areas where the sun is directly overhead, significantly cooling things.
What does the tropic of Capricorn look like?
The Tropic of Capricorn is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at approximately 23.5 degrees south of the Equator. It does not have a physical appearance like a marked boundary or visible marker in the landscape.
Why are the Arctic Circles specially marked?
They are specially marked because, they are the most north and south on the lines of latitude. During the summer solstice, the sun beams directly on these points ( the two arctic circles)
What degrees of latitude are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles?
You can find these at about 66 degrees N and 66 degrees S. Because the earth wobbles, the exact hour and degree location of the circles move slightly.
If I was standing at the Earth's North Pole what would be located at the Zenith?
If you're standing exactly on the north Pole, then during the six months when the sun never rises, Polaris ... the "Pole" star or "North" star ... makes a tiny circle directly over your head once a day, about 1/3 of a degree from the North Celestial Pole.
