What is the name for a piece of equipment that measures a ships distance from the equator?
The usual device is a sextant, which measures the altitude (angle above the horizon) of stars or the Sun crossing the meridian (i.e. due south). The latitude can then be calcuated after looking up the declination of the object in tables, for example in the Nautical Almanac. A star (or the Sun) on the (celestial) equator has an altitude of 90 minus the latitude, so in general a star's altitude is 90 - latitude + declination, when it is due south. The ship's latitude is therefore 90 - altitude + declination. The distance from the equator in nautical miles is the latitude (in degrees) times 60.
How hot is Tibet?
Tibet's climate varies significantly due to its elevation and geography, with temperatures ranging from extremely cold in winter to mild in summer. In the summer months, daytime temperatures can reach around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius (59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit), while winter temperatures can plummet to -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) or lower. Overall, Tibet is known for its high-altitude climate, characterized by cool temperatures year-round.
What degree Fahrenheit is 30 degrees celsius?
30 degrees Celsius = 86 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the degrees of a pyramid?
The degrees or the angle of slope of the sides of the pyramid is on the pyramids at Giza is about 51 degrees
What are the usual temperatures in January in Portugal?
The average temperature for Portugal is 52 degrees Fahrenheit [11 degrees Celsius] in January. The average maximum temperature for January is 57 degrees Fahrenheit [14 degrees Celsius]. The average minimum temperature for January is 46 degrees Fahrenheit [7 degrees Celsius].
What is the vertical angle of 43?
An angle of 43 degrees cannot be a vertical angle. A vertical angle, by definition, is 90 degrees
How many degrees has a vertical?
90 degrees.
Why are vertical angles used?
because 360 degrees is the total amount of degrees you can get. the degrees are essentially the angle measurement. anything that is 180 degrees is a vertical. so vertical angels are used to indicated a 180degree line.
What is the latitude of an observer if the altitude of polaris is 43 degrees?
If the altitude of Polaris is 43 degrees above the northern horizon, then the observer is located somewhere within roughly 1/2 degree of 43 degrees north latitude.
How does the maximum altitude of the projectile change as the launch angle is increased from 30 to 45 above the horizontal?
As the launch angle of a projectile increases from 30 to 45 degrees, the maximum altitude generally increases. This is because a higher launch angle allows for a greater vertical component of the initial velocity, which contributes to a higher peak in the projectile's trajectory. However, beyond 45 degrees, the altitude will begin to decrease as the horizontal component of the velocity becomes less efficient for achieving height. Thus, the maximum altitude reaches its peak at or around 45 degrees for a given initial velocity.
What angle is vertical to 43 degrees?
It is 47 degrees.
Are vertical and supplementary right angles?
No, right angles are 90 degrees, supplementary and vertical angles are 180 degrees.
What is the altitude of polaris if you are at an angle of 66.5 degrees from the Horizon?
66.5 degrees
The temperature in the atmosphere approaches -90 degrees Celsius at an altitude of about what?
the temperature in the atmosphere approaches -90 degrees Celsius at an altitude of about answer is 80 kilometers
How much higher is the sun at noon compared to midnight at latitude 80 degrees north - on days where the sun never sets?
First, we need the "transit altitude" of the celestial equator, at 80 degrees north. That's 90 - 80 degrees = 10 degrees. At noon (local apparent noon) the Sun's altitude will be: 10 degrees + the Sun's declination. That's the altitude of the Sun's "upper culmination". At "midnight" (the Sun's "lower culmination") the Sun's altitude will be: the Sun's declination - 10 degrees. So, the difference in altitude is 20 degrees. The Sun is 20 degrees higher at noon.
Exactly vertical or perpendicular?
There is no such thing as exactly vertical because either it is vertical or it is not. You cannot have approximately vertical - it is not vertical, then. Vertical means at 90 degrees to the horizon (or horizontal).
What is the azimuth and altitude of the star Betelgeuse?
As of 2021, Betelgeuse has an azimuth of around 225 degrees and an altitude of about 27 degrees when observed from the northern hemisphere. These values will change throughout the night and over the course of the year due to the Earth's rotation and orbit.
