If you were standing at the equator which way would the cold air be coming from southpole appear to be moving?
It depends on which way you are facing. If you are facing north then it appears to be moving from your front to behind you. If you are facing west then it is moving from your right to your left. If you are facing east then it is moving from your left to your right. If you are facing south then it is coming from behind you and going out in front of you. Regardless of where you are standing on the equator, south is still south, north is still north, east is east and west is west. The only place where some question may occur is if you are standing on the exact north or south pole. If you are exactly on the north pole, then all wind comes from the south and goes to the south. That's because as you stand on the North Pole and point, everywhere that you point is south. The same happens at the South Pole. Everywhere you point is north. It is like the question, "If you are in a square house and all four walls face south, and a bear walks past, what color is the bear?" The bear is white because it is a polar bear. The only place that the house can be, is dead center on the North Pole. Hope that helped.
What type of local wind would you experience if you were standing in a valley?
valley pressure
What type of local wind would you experience if you were standing in th valley?
A Valley Breeze
A north pole will repel a south pole true or false?
False only a north and north would repel and south with south would repel Opposites attract
Do all parts of the earth see the same stars at the same time?
No, because one part is at day-time, they cannot see any stars. If they could, they would see different stars, for they are on the opposite side of Earth.
How many circumpolar stars would you see if standing on the equator?
If you were standing on the equator, how many circumpolar stars would you see?
Where would you see the most circumpolar stars?
At the North Pole, and at the South Pole.
Where would you see the least number of circumpolar stars?
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
Circumpolar constellations orbit what?
Beautiful question !! Circumpolar stars and constellations are stars and constellations the "go around the pole" = Circum (circle) polar (the pole) The North Star is called "Polaris" because it's directly above Earth's North Pole - in other words, if you went to the North Pole, "polaris" would be directly over your head. Because of this, all of the stars appear to pivot around Polaris as Earth rotates. Now I don't know where you live, but if you live in the United States, Polaris would NOT be overhead - it would be lower in the sky but still in the North. The lower on the globe you live, the lower Polaris appears in the sky. So, the stars and constellations that spin around Polaris but DON'T SET, are called circumpolar stars and constellations.
Where would you be if you couldn't see any circumpolar stars?
Nothing seen in the sky from a point on the Equator is "circumpolar", meaning that everything in the sky appears to rise and set.
Is Orion a circumpolar?
No. All circumpolar constellations are found near the celestial poles. Because of their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view. Sagittarius is on the ecliptic and thus (like all other zodiac constellations) not close enough to the poles to render it circumpolar.
Which direction do you look to find the circumpolar constellations?
you would locate them at the north pole.
What did ancient egyptians believe about astronomy?
They believed that when Paraohs died they would become one of the circumpolar stars
When circumpolar stars can be seen?
Circumpolar constellations are those that never set below the horizon. The further north (or south) one travels, the more constellations are circumpolar. Where I live, above the 45th parallel, most of the Big Dipper stars are circumpolar, but Arcturus is not, and the constellation of Orion sets below the horizon in the summer. Equatorial constellations are those that pass directly overhead when one is between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. I believe these are primarily the 13 constellations of the zodiac.
What range of declination makes stars appear circumpolar?
Subtract your latitude from 90° and that will give the the decollation of circumpolar stars. In northern New Zealand, my latitude is 35°. If I subtract that from 90°, I get 55°. So stars with Declination great than 55° are circumpolar for me.
Which stars do you see all year?
You see stars all year which (at your latitude) are circumpolar stars.Your latitude must be where it gets dark enough, so sunlight doesn't interfere too much.That means latitudes below about 60 degrees where "civil twilight" ends (i.e the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon) even at the summer solstice.To see the faintest "naked eye" circumpolar stars all year you would need to be below about latitude 48 degrees.Unfortunately, the lower your latitude the less stars are actually circumpolar.At the equator no stars are circumpolar.Circumpolar stars are stars that never set at your particular latitude, which means their declination is more than 90 minus your latitude (in the Northern Hemisphere).At 51.5 degrees north (London) you can see stars north of a declination of 38.5 degrees north all year round. That includes constellations like Ursa Major and Cassiopeia, and stars like Deneb and Capella.
Is Gemini ever circumpolar If so then at what latitude and compass direction would Gemini be a circumpolar constellation?
gemini is not circumpolar. the circumpolar constellations for the northern hemisphere are Cassiopeia. Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Ursa Major.
