What Is Aphelion
It is the point where the planet in orbit is furthest from the
sun.
What is the Tropic of Capricorn
The Tropic of Capricorn, sometimes also known as the Southern
tropic, is a line of latitude about 23 degrees to the south of the
equator. It is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark
maps of the Earth. Its equivalent in the northern hemisphere is the
Tropic of Cancer.
What kind of waves are sound waves
it is longitudinal waves. for a+ users.
When do the sun's most direct rays reach the tropic of Capricorn
The sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn at the time
of the December solstice ... roughly December 22 or 23 .
When the earth at perihelion
The point at which Earth is closest to the the Sun is called
perihelion. Even though Earth is close to the Sun then, the
Northern hemisphere experiences winter then. This is because the
Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun at perihelion.
By what process is earth's supply of water recycled
It's Recycled by the "Hydrologic Cycle". . . .A+
Which portion of the electromagnetic spectrum can human eyes detect
What region on the earth receives the most direct sunlight during the summer solstice
Why do the poles experience the coldest temperatures on earth
This is because they are furthest from the direct rays of the
sun. Even during the summer when they can receive 24 hours of
daylight, the sun is barely above the horizon. Since its rays have
to pass through a lot more of the atmosphere, they are "diluted"
and can heat the surface very little.
Which term refers to the motion of the earth as it travels around the sun
Where would a star at zenith be located
"At zenith" means directly above your head - so high that it
can't go any higher.
Which types of water are collected and recycled for use on the international space station
All forms of water are recycled :)
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels
in its orbit.
Which of these will a wave with more energy have
Which area of study has applications for treatment of osteoporosis
studying the effect of microgravity on the human body
How does the International Space Station obtain its air
It is made through the process of electrolysis
Which method regulates the temperature aboard the space station by reducing the amount of the sun's radiation that is absorbed
The technology developed by the space program is often incorporated into products people use every day
Why is the observatory aboard the International Space Station able to provide a better view into space than is possible from any observatory on earth
its not surrounded by thick atmospheres
Which spacecrafts bring supplies to the space station and are then used as waste storage modules when supplies are unloaded
the progress & the automated transfer vehicle
How can studies on the effects of microgravity impact citizens living on earth
findings can be ussed to help the aging live healthier &
live more active lives
What simple seemingly ordinary instrument uses NASA's infrared technology to help provide hospital nursing staffs more time to devote to patient care
An ear thermometer uses NASA's infrared technology.
Only one solution should be considered for any problem that utilizes technological design
When the antarctic circle experiences 24 hours of darkness which hemisphere experiences summer
The science students gather information about feasibility of solution options to lower the number of students in the hall.
soution design and evaluation
What is a satellite designed to allow humans to live in outer space
A space station is a satellite designed to allow humans to live
in outer space.
what step of technological design is represented if scientists at a university develop a drink that replaces lost electrolytes better than water
Which step of technological design is Scientists meet to determine the effectiveness of the robotic machine sent to Mars represented by in this situation
Solution design and evaluation
