What else can I help you with?
If you have a north wind do you call it a north wind or a south wind?
If the wind is coming from the north and moving to the south, then it would be called a "northerly" wind. Likewise, if it is coming from the south, it would be a "southerly" wind. why? is there a reasond?
When a person is standing at sea level they are standing at a height of 0 feet. How would you describe the height at which is standing in terms of sea level if they are standing at -35?
If a person is standing at a height of -35 feet, they are standing 35 feet below sea level.
What happens when you stand directly on the top of the earth?
If you were able to stand directly on the top of the Earth (which is technically impossible due to the curve of the planet), you would be at the North Pole. At the North Pole, you would experience a point where all lines of longitude converge, making it a unique location on Earth. Additionally, you would be standing on a thick sheet of sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean.
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.
Why are there no stars with masses much greater than 100M?
Stars with masses greater than 100 times that of the Sun would burn their fuel so rapidly that they would not have enough time to reach the main sequence before exhausting it and ending their lives in violent supernova explosions. Therefore, there are no stars with masses much greater than 100 solar masses currently observable in the universe.
How many circumpolar stars would you see if standing on the equator?
Standing on the equator, you would not see any circumpolar stars. Circumpolar stars are those that never dip below the horizon, and they can only be seen from latitudes above a certain threshold, typically around 25 degrees (North or South) or higher. The closer you are to the poles, the more circumpolar stars you can 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.
What is the radius in degrees of your circumpolar region be for Dallas Texas?
For Dallas, Texas, the circumpolar region extends approximately 23.5 degrees north and south of the North Pole due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This means that the circumpolar region for Dallas would be roughly from 23.5 degrees north latitude to the North Pole, encompassing the area where stars appear to move in circles around the North Star, Polaris. Since Dallas is located at about 32.8 degrees north latitude, it does not lie within the circumpolar region.
How do you calculate the range of declinations for which stars are circumpolar?
To calculate the range of declinations for which stars are circumpolar, you need to know the observer's latitude. Circumpolar stars are those that never set below the horizon. For a given latitude ( \phi ), the declination (( \delta )) of circumpolar stars ranges from ( +90^\circ - \phi ) to ( -90^\circ + \phi ). Thus, if you are at a latitude of, say, 40°N, circumpolar stars would have declinations between ( +50^\circ ) and ( -50^\circ ).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Which direction do you look to find the circumpolar constellations?
To find circumpolar constellations, look towards the north if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or towards the south if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations are visible all year round and appear to "circle" around the celestial poles without setting below the horizon.
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.
