What else can I help you with?
How far out do you lose sight of land when on water?
The distance at which you lose sight of land when on water depends on factors such as your height above sea level and the curvature of the Earth. Typically, you can see land from a few miles up to around 12 miles offshore before it disappears below the horizon.
What soil horizon that is made up of partially broken bedrock?
Horizon C
The soil horizon that is made up of partially broken bedrock is?
The soil horizon that is made up of partially broken bedrock is known as the C horizon. It is located directly beneath the B horizon and consists of weathered rock fragments intermingled with some organic material.
How does a virtual horizon work?
An ADI Ball, Pitch Ladder, or other type of virtual horizon display takes data either from the INS or directly from the aircraft gyros and displays pitch and roll of the aircraft graphically, simulating the horizon. If the symbol is displayed on a HUD or HMD then the horizon line part of the symbol will directly follow the real horizon.ADI - Attitude & Direction IndicatorINS - Inertial Navigation SystemHUD - Head Up DisplayHMD - Helmet Mounted Display
Which constellation is visible from Georgia during the winter months?
You can see lots of constellations. At any one moment, you can see half the sky above the horizon, so that should be roughly half of the 88 official constellations. That is, if you look at one specific instance, for example, in the evening. If you look at the sky the next morning, you will see the other half of the sky - so you can see all of the sky, except for a few stars that are in the direction of the Sun, and those that are always below the horizon (too far south, if you live in the north).
Is the big dipper up the horizon or below the horizon?
In the northern hemisphere it is above the horizon or we wouldn't see it.
What is angle of elevation?
the angle of elevation would be the angle between the horizon and the line of sight to whatever object you are measuring to. Lets say for instance that you see a plane, and you determine that it has an angle of elevation of 30 deg. This means that from the horizon, you would need to look up at an angle of 30 degrees to see that plane. below I linked to a diagram which illustrates it quite well. Hope this helped!
Why can't we see our galaxy?
because we are in it!!! We can -- just not from an outside view like how we perceive other galaxies. If you look up at the night sky on a clear night with little light pollution, you can see a cloudy region stretching from horizon to horizon across the plane of the ecliptic. That region is the Milky Way, seen from the inside.
What is the opposite of horizon?
In astronomy zenith (the point in the sky exactly above you) is the point most distant from the horizon. As a horizon defines how far down the sky you can look, zenith defines how high up you can look.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical?
Vertical is up and down and horizontal is side to side. Think of the horizon, it is a line and horizontal has the same root. In fact, one definition of horizontal is parallel to or in the plane of the horizon.
Work done with an angle of elevation?
the angle of elevation would be the angle between the horizon and the line of sight to whatever object you are measuring to. Lets say for instance that you see a plane, and you determine that it has an angle of elevation of 30 deg. This means that from the horizon, you would need to look up at an angle of 30 degrees to see that plane. below I linked to a diagram which illustrates it quite well. Hope this helped!

Is it true that earth is seen upwards from moon?
Generally, yes, just as we see the moon when it is "up". Earth can be just over the horizon of the moon, or straight up, depending where you are on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so from the far side, Earth can never be seen.
Galileo found that a ball rolling down one inclined plane would roll how far up another inclined plane?
To nearly its original high
What does horizontal mean?
Horizontal means going left and right. This is the opposite of vertical, which means going up and down. Example: This sentence is written horizontally. It might help to know that the horizon is the farthest limit of the earth that can be seen from a given point. When you are at a beach looking out over the ocean or another body of water where you cannot see land in the distance, the line where the sky meets the water is called the horizon.
What is the difference between nearsightedness and farsightedness?
Nearsightness is when you can only see up close and not far away. Farsightness is when you can only see far away and not up close. =)
What soil horizon that is made up of partially broken bedrock?
Horizon C
