What else can I help you with?
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
What is the point directly under the sun at any point of time called?
It is the sub-solar point. It is the point where the Sun is directly overhead. The sub-solar point has a latitude equal to the Sun's declination at any moment, so all points on Earth between latitudes of ±23½ degrees can be the sub-solar point. If you want to know the direction to the sub-solar point at any instant from where you are, just point at the Sun and then move your arm vertically downwards so that it points horizontally. If you want to know the distance to the sub-solar point, measure the Sun's angle relative to overhead where you are. The distance (in nautical miles) is 60 times that angle in degrees.
Where is the sun when shadows are short?
When the shadows are short, the sun is typically somewhere overhead.
Is Jupiter brightest in opposition conjunction or closest to the sun in its orbit?
Jupiter is brightest during opposition when it is directly opposite the sun in the sky. It is closest to the sun in its orbit during its perihelion, which is when it is at its closest point to the sun.
What time of day is the sun directly south?
The sun is directly south at solar noon, which is the time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for the day. This usually occurs around 12:00 pm local time, but it can vary slightly depending on your location and time of year.
Will taking a picture of the sun damage a camera?
Yes, taking a picture of the sun can potentially damage a camera if the camera is pointed directly at the sun for an extended period of time. The intense light and heat from the sun can harm the camera's sensor and other components. It is recommended to use a solar filter or special equipment when photographing the sun to protect the camera.
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
Which Apollo mission was the camera ruined?
Apollo 12's color television camera was ruined when Alan Bean inadvertantly pointed the lens directly at the sun.
Is the sun ever directly overhead of Maryland?
The sun is never directly over any point in Maryland. The sun can never be directly over any point located more than roughly 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator, whereas the latitude of Crisfield on the Eastern Shore ... the southernmost point in MD ... is about 38 degrees from the equator.
Can you ruin a camera by taking a picture of the sun?
No cant :0Update: Digital camera's can be damaged by pointing directly at the sun. The CCD or CMOS sensor is suseptible to burn in the same as a Plasma TV and this will render the camera useless...it says so in the manual that came with my digital SLR camera.(Canon). Don't risk it.
What happens when you point a thermal imaging camera at the sun?
Nothing it is too far away to get a reading
Which direction does shadow point at midday?
The shadow points directly south at midday in the northern hemisphere and directly north at midday in the southern hemisphere. This is because the sun is at its highest point in the sky at midday, casting shadows directly opposite the sun's position.
What is the name of the location on the surface of the earth that receives insolation when the sun is directly overhead?
When the Sun is directly overhead (at zenith) the point below it is called nadir.
Can you take pictures of the sun safely?
No, it is not safe to take pictures of the sun directly with a camera or smartphone as it can damage your eyes and equipment. Special filters or lenses are needed to safely photograph the sun.
What is the name of the northern most point where the sun shines directly?
The North Pole.
On Mercury what is the point closest to the sun?
Mercury's axial tilt is pretty much zero, so the surface point closest to the sun will always be on the equator, at the point directly facing the sun (which changes with Mercury's rotation and orbit).
Which metal could you use for camera flashbulbs?
You can use Magnesium as a camera flashbulb because it is a metal and when ignited lights up like the sun. do not look directly at it or you will be seeing spots for hours
