What is an imaginary line that follows the curve of the earth?
An imaginary line that follows the curve of the Earth is called a great circle. It represents the shortest distance between two points on the Earth's surface and is often used in navigation and mapping.
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
When was The Curve of the Earth created?
The Curve of the Earth was created on 2007-11-13.
Why is it better to observe the universe from space than from the Earth's surface?
The earth's atmosphere interferes.
A imaginary line that follows the curve of the earth the shortest distance between two points on a globe?
... is called a Great Circle arc.
What was the distance between the Earth and the stars before the Earth was formed?
It is the distance of the extension of what your eyes can see. If the earth wasn't formed, there can be no possibility of measuring distances to or from it.
How can the shortest distance between two points be a curve?
Actually, this turns out to be more of a debate than you might think. Historically, most of us were taught the shortest distance between two points is a straight line; that is a principle of Euclid's geometry. But not everyone agrees with Euclid, and there are other types of geometry. For example, because the Earth is a sphere, and not flat as distance maps portray it, that is why some scientists say that the shortest distance is actually a sphere or a curve (in other words, the distance would be measured by following the Earth's contours).
Why do global winds curve as they blow from one part of the Earth's surface to another?
The winds curve because of the rotation of the Earth.
Where can I go to see the curve of the earth?
You need to get to a sufficiently high altitude or distance from the Earth to being to see the curvature. A minimum heihgt of around 60 to 70,000 ft is required to be able the see the curvature of the horizon.
What is the fourth closest planet to earth?
The fourth closest planet to Earth is Mars. It is located after Venus and Earth but before Jupiter in terms of distance from Earth.
Do you thinkThe telescopes in space are better than those on earth?
Yes. The atmosphere interferes for observations.
What is the similarity between plane surveying and geodetic surveying?
in plane survey the surface of earth assume as plane or straight its uses as limited distance where as in geodetic survey surface of earth assume as curve its use in long distance.
