The moon transit is the time that the moon crosses an observer's meridian. The time that a moon transit occurs relative to noon depends on the quarter that the moon is in.

What is the fundamental lines of transit theodolite?

The fundamental lines of a transit theodolite refer to its primary axes that are crucial for accurate measurement. These include the vertical axis, which allows for rotation in the horizontal plane, and the horizontal axis, which facilitates vertical angle measurements. Proper alignment of these lines is essential for ensuring precision in surveying and geospatial tasks. Any misalignment can lead to errors in angle and distance measurements.


What is an example of concentric motion?

Example: Moon revolving around the sun (although it's technically elliptical not perfectly circular) -speed is constant but velocity changes constantly since the vector changes direction but not magnitude.


How come all bodies sliding down a frictionless inclined plane have same acceleration?

all bodies have same acceleration while coming down from an inclined plane because in such type of case acceleration does not depends upon mass....acceleration can be given as a=gsinθ......θ(theta) is the angle of the inclined plane. g is the acceleration due to gravity or 9.81 m/s2.*Note: the acceleration due to gravity is actually based on the mass of both bodies and the square of the distance between their centers. While this means that gravity (acceleration) is not equal for all bodies, the mass of the Earth is so much greater than any measurable bodies, that can move down the inclined plane. The mass of the body is negligible in comparison and thus the change in acceleration due to gravity is likewise negligible, and generally not measurable. If a mass the size of the moon were moving down the inclined plane, then that would definitely indicate a greater acceleration.F = m1m2/r2. Where F = force of gravity, m1 = mass of body 1, m2 = mass of body 2, and r = the distance between the bodies.

What occurs when an object in space comes between the sun and a third object?

It's called a transit. e.g. When Venus or Mercury come between Earth and Sun we get a transit of Venus or a transit of Mercury. If it's the Moon and the conditions are right, we get a special type of transit called an eclipse, and that is because the angular sizes of the sun and moon are very similar.


What is the difference between an eclipse and a transit?

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another, like a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun. A transit is when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger body, like the transit of Mercury or Venus across the face of the Sun.


What is the differce betteen a partial and solar elipse?

A Total eclipse - is where the moon passes directly in front of the sun's disc - completely obscuring it. A partial - is where the moon and sun aren't quite aligned, and part of the sun is left 'uncovered' as the moon makes its transit.


What is it called when the moon amd the sun cross each other?

When the sun, a planet, and another body are lined up in a row, it is called inferior conjunction.From the other body, the planet's disc sometimes seems to move across the Sun's disc, and this is called a transit of that planet.


What is the meridian crossing transit time for a Waxing Crescent Moon?

The meridian crossing transit time for a Waxing Crescent Moon typically occurs around mid-afternoon, depending on the specific phase and the observer's location. The Waxing Crescent Moon is visible in the western sky shortly after sunset, and it crosses the meridian (the highest point in the sky) approximately 6 to 12 hours later, varying based on the Moon's position in its orbital cycle. This time can also be influenced by the observer's latitude and the time of year.
