As the distance of a satellite from Earth's surface increases the time the satellite takes to make one revolution around Earth?
This is true if the angular velocity is not a variable. That being said this is the reason why the outer planets such as Saturn and Jupiter have such long Solar orbits as opposed to Earth,
Earth spins on an axis but which part of earth spins the slowest?
The Earth's rotation
What measuring unit is used to measure the distance from earth to moon?
Any standard unit of length will do, but really it just depends where you live. In the U.S. miles are typically used, in which case the distance is roughly 240 million miles. In most other countries and the scientific community the metric system is preferred, giving us about 384 million kilometers.
What is a unit used to measure the large distances between objects in our solar system?
The Astronomical unit is used to measure the large distances in our solar system. It is roughly the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Could everyone facing one direction stop the earth?
No. Even if everybody were to run in the same direction around the earth they would effect the rate of rotation only very very slightly. You have to calculate the total angular momentum produced by the running population and subtract (or add depending on the direction that they run) the total angular momentum on the earth, (first calculate the moment of inertia of a solid iron sphere the size of the earth then multiply by the angular velocity (circumference of the earth over a 24 hour period)). I'm sure you will find that the value for the earth wins out by a considerable margin. It would be an interesting calculation to make however. Population of the earth times the average mass of a person, times the medial running speed times the radius of the earth. I'll let someone else do that.
What does latitude and longitude measure?
Location of a point on the surface of the earth.
Is latitude or longitude more important in determining the type of biome in a given area?
The latitude is the measure of an areas distance from the sun while the longitude is the measure of the angular distance on earth's surface. The latitude measures the climate and therefore the type of biome in a given area.
What is another name for laditude lines The questioner is asking about LADITUDE not latitude.?
Another name for "laditude" lines could be "parallels." These lines run east-west around the Earth and measure the distance in degrees from the equator.
What does latitude mean in science?
the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator
Parallels run which directions?
Theoretically, parallels run horizontally around the Earth, parallel to the equator. They are used to measure latitude and are equidistant from each other.
What is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole and it is noted by what?
Latitude, parallels
What is used when astronomers measure the distance from the sun to the earth?
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
What is a word with a spacial meaning in an area of study?
In geography, "latitude" refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the Earth's equator, while "longitude" refers to the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These terms are used to specify locations on Earth's surface.
What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
What is the angular diameter of Earth as seen from the moon?
Since Earth has about 4 times the diameter of the Moon, the angular diameter of Earth, as seen from the Moon, is about 4 times larger than the angular diameter of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Since the Moon's angular diameter as seen from here is about half a degree, that would make Earth's angular diameter about 2 degrees.If you wish, you can look up more exact figures and do more precise calculations, but it is hardly worth the trouble, since there is some variation in the distance from Earth to Moon anyway.
What or some non examples of latitude?
Non-examples of latitude would include longitude, altitude, and temperature. Latitude specifically refers to the angular distance north or south of the Earth's equator.
What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
