What else can I help you with?
What Half of earths surface is called?
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
What do you call a half of the earth that is cut longitudinally?
A half of the Earth that is cut longitudinally is referred to as a hemisphere.
What is the half life of the earth's magnetic field?
The half-life of the Earth's magnetic field is estimated to be around 1,000 years. This means that the strength of the magnetic field decreases by half every 1,000 years. The field is generated by the motion of molten iron in the Earth's outer core.
What name is given to the half circle that contines around earth?
Each meridian is a half-circle from the north pole to the south pole of the earth.
At any one time half of the earth has sunlight?
This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, creating day and night cycles. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight while others are in darkness. This results in approximately half of the Earth having sunlight at any given moment.
When viewed from above rainbows are what shape?
Rainbows are an optical illusion, they are not "real". You cannot view them from above; they will always appear the way they appear from the ground.
What is the angle of the suns rays in the South Pole?
At the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21. The highest angle of the sun above the horizon is about 23.5 degrees. While the sun is up, its orb never dips even half way below the horizon.
Why is the amount of daylight slightly more than twelve hours at the equinoxes?
At the equinoxes, the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in an equal amount of day and night. However, due to the way sunlight bends in the Earth's atmosphere, the days are slightly longer as the sun appears to rise before it is geometrically above the horizon and set after it is geometrically below the horizon.
You are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a lunar eclipse because?
A solar eclipse can only be seen along a narrow strip of Earth's surface. A lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere where the Moon is above the horizon - i.e., about half of the Earth.
Why isn't the Arctic Circle the northernmost point of Earth - since it divides the light and dark half of the planet?
The Arctic Circle does not divide the light and dark half of the planet. It's just the southernmost latitude where it's possible for the sun to remain above the horizon or below the horizon for more than 24 hours straight ... which the sun does every year. There is no light or dark half of the planet. In the course of a year, every spot on Earth has the sun above the horizon for 50% of the time, and below the horizon for the other 50% of the time. Different points on the planet simply have their 50% distributed in different-size chunks during the year. (At both poles, the sun is 6 months up, 6 months down. On the equator, it's close to 50-50 every day.)
Can the earth be cut in half?
No, the Earth can not ever be cut in half.I hope this answers your question!
Where is it night time for half the year?
In regions near the North or South Pole, such as parts of Norway, Finland, or Antarctica, it is night time for half the year due to the phenomenon of polar night caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis. During these periods, the sun does not rise above the horizon for an extended period.
At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?
The weight of an object becomes half at a height where the gravitational force is half of the force on Earth, about 3,578 km above Earth's surface. At this height, the object and Earth are attracted with equal and opposite force.
How wide is the sun in degrees when viewed from Earth - like how high would the sun be if the very bottom of it touches the horizon?
Both the Sun and the Moon have an apparent size of about half a degree, seen from Earth.
Does The celestial equator always pass directly overhead?
No, the celestial equator does not always pass directly overhead. The position of the celestial equator in the sky is determined by the observer's latitude on Earth. If the observer is located at the equator, the celestial equator will pass directly overhead. However, for observers at different latitudes, the celestial equator will appear at an angle to the horizon.
When can you see the new moon with your naked eye?
we can not see the new moon if it sets along with the sun i.e almost the same time the sun sets. Next day the moon will remain above horizon for about 41.5 minutes after the sun sets. So depending on the location on earth i.e from a given lat/long if the new moon stays about half the above time gap i.e to say about 20 minutes above horizon on any location, it will be visible better towards later part of its time above horizon in reduced light at sunset.
If you look up at the north star and it is off the horizon 29degree's what is your latitude?
If the star Polaris is 29 degrees above the horizon, then your latitude is about 29 degrees North.Polaris is not exactly above the North Pole, but it is only about one-half degree away from that.
