It would be really hot at the equator, and really cold at the poles. Days would always be twelve hours long, and nights also twelve hours long, no matter where on earth you are, unless, of course, you are standing on the exact pole.

What is the satellite inclination angle in satellite communication?

The satellite inclination angle in satellite communication refers to the angle between the satellite's orbital plane and the equatorial plane of the Earth. This angle is crucial for determining the satellite's coverage area and the type of services it can provide. A geostationary satellite, for example, has an inclination angle of 0 degrees, allowing it to remain fixed over a specific point on the equator, while polar satellites typically have an inclination of 90 degrees, enabling them to pass over the poles and cover the entire Earth.


What would the earths weather be with the earth at a 0 degree tilt or a 12 degree tilt?

If the Earth had a 0 degree tilt, there would be no seasons, and the weather would be more uniform across all latitudes. With a 12 degree tilt, the seasons would be more pronounced, resulting in more extreme weather patterns and temperature variations between summer and winter.


A circular orbit would have an eccentricity of?

A circular orbit would have an eccentricity of 0, meaning the orbit is perfectly circular with no deviation. Eccentricity is a measure of how elongated an orbit is, ranging from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating a circle and 1 indicating a parabolic orbit.


Why do spacecraft have a sine wave shaped orbit?

The sine wave pattern seen is the result of viewing the orbital trajectory on a 2D surface. If the inclination of the satellite is 0 degrees, then the orbital path would appear as a straight line. Thus in fact the spacecraft move in elliptical orbits.


Is the ISS a geostationary orbit or a polar orbit?

Neither. A polar orbit means that the station orbits at an inclination of about 90 degrees North (or South). This can occur at any reasonable altitude (apogee or perigee), typically around 250 and 350 miles. A geostationary orbit MUST have an inclination of 0 degrees--above the equator; AND have an apogee/perigee between 22,000--23,000 miles. The ISS was built and intended to be visited by the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was incapable of orbiting higher than 500 miles. So if the ISS were in a geosynchronous orbit, the Shuttle could never have reached it. One of the disadvantages of a polar orbit is that one loses the velocity benefit of Earth's Eastward rotation. It takes extra fuel to place the same payload at the same altitude in a polar orbit, versus a typical Eastward orbit. The ISS is in a Low-Earth orbit with an apogee/perigee of about 250 miles, and an inclination of about 57 degrees.

What is the gradient of the straight line and their angles of inclination a-2 0 and B 6 -4?

If earth's angle of inclination was 0 how would insulation change in High Level Alberta?

If Earth's angle of inclination was 0 degrees, there would be no change in the insulation levels in High Level, Alberta. Insolation (incoming solar radiation) is more influenced by variations in solar angle, day length, and cloud cover than by Earth's axial tilt. Therefore, insulation levels in High Level would likely remain relatively constant throughout the year.


Which planet is used as the stander orbit for inclination of orbit?

For convenience, Earth's orbit is considered to be at 0 degrees inclination. All other planets' orbits are compared with Earth's orbital tilt.


Why does the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane decrease as you increase the angle of inclination?

At the two extremes of the angle of inclination you have no mechanical advantage. At an angle of 0 degrees, the plane is parallel to the effort force so it cannot raise the load. At the angle of 90 degrees, the plane is perpendicular to the effort force so all effort is directed into the plane. Between those two extremes, you have a machine. Divide the length (L) of the inclined plane by its height (H) to find the mechanical advantage. Notice that in the case where the angle of inclination is 0 degrees, H = 0. Division by zero is not allowed in math. (The mechanical advantage is undefined.) In the case where the inclination is 90 degrees, L = 0, 0/L = 0 (No mechanical advantage).


If the inclination of the earth's rotation were 0 degrees will the seasons on the earth change?

If the Earth's rotation axis had no inclination, there would be no variation in the angle at which sunlight hits different parts of the Earth's surface, resulting in no distinct seasons. Areas at the equator would experience consistent temperatures year-round, while areas closer to the poles would have milder but less distinct seasonal changes.


Angle of inclination of a line?

In the context of satellites, the inclination angle is the angle between the equator and the polar orbit. The polar satellite has high angle of 90 Deg and the Geo SAT has angle of 0 Deg

What is the range of orbit inclination?

The range of orbit inclinations for artificial satellites can vary from 0 degrees (equatorial orbit) to 90 degrees (polar orbit). The inclination determines how tilted the satellite's orbital plane is relative to the Earth's equatorial plane. Different types of orbits have specific inclination ranges based on their intended purpose and requirements.
