What else can I help you with?
If you were in space facing the North Pole the earth would be orbiting around the sun east to west.?
A+ true.
What is 70 degrees above the north horizon?
Looking toward the north, the ray from you through the point 70 degrees above the horizon. 90 degrees would be directly overhead.Notation such as this is used to announce sightings of the International Space Station, for example:
Where would polaris be at 41 degrees north latitude?
Polaris would be 41 degrees above the northern horizon at 41 degrees north latitude. This means it would be directly overhead, aligned with the North Celestial Pole. Polaris is often used as a reference point for navigation and stargazing due to its close alignment with the Earth's axis.
Which way will the north seeking end of a compass. If you and rsquore in a plane flying directly above the earths magnetic north pole?
If you are in a plane flying directly above the Earth's magnetic north pole, the north-seeking end of a compass would point directly downward, toward the Earth's surface. This occurs because the magnetic field lines at the magnetic north pole are nearly vertical, causing the compass needle to align itself with the field. As a result, instead of pointing horizontally to the north, the needle would dip downward.
What does the earth spin on in an west to east direction?
If you could leave the Earth and stand somewhere above the North Pole then you would see the Earth rotating anticlockwise (counter clockwise). If you could stand above the solar system and look down onto the North Pole of the Earth and Sun, you would see the Earth orbiting the Sun anticlockwise (counter clockwise). Mind you, all the people in the Southern Hemisphere would not understand why you are standing above the North Pole, they would quite rightly, expect you to stand above the Southern Pole and rotation would be clockwise. I'm not sure what "rotate west to east" means. One can travel from West to East but not rotate West to East. Each point on the surface is heading in an easterly direction. The Sun appears to rise in the east, as you zoom underneath it.
If you hovered above the earth in a helicopter would you still move with the earth?
Yes, you are not in space so you are still in Earth's gravitational force.
How long was the descent to earth from space?
Depending on your definition, the descent to earth from space would be about 60 miles long if you were to consider "space" to start at 60 miles above sea-level.
Which way does earth rotate?
If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would seethe earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
Is Oregon next to or above California?
Generally speaking, the atmosphere and outer space is above Oregon. If by "above" you euphemistically meant "north" since "north" is usually "upwards" on a map, then the answer would be Washington State and then the Canadian province of British Columbia.
If you were in space facing the North Pole the earth would be orbiting around the sun east to west?
A+ true.
If you were in space facing the North Pole the earth would be orbiting around the sun east to west.?
A+ true.
If the space station were in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth would the people be weightless?
Yes, people on the space station in a geosynchronous orbit above Earth would still experience microgravity, which can make them feel weightless. This is because they are continuously falling towards Earth due to the balance between their forward motion and the planet's gravitational pull.
Why is Polaris useful for navigation?
It is useful because it is directly above Earth's north pole so if you were traveling north, you would know what to follow
Which way is earth turning?
The Earth rotates towards the east. Or, if you were looking down on it from above the North Pole, it would rotate counter-clockwise.
What is 70 degrees above the north horizon?
Looking toward the north, the ray from you through the point 70 degrees above the horizon. 90 degrees would be directly overhead.Notation such as this is used to announce sightings of the International Space Station, for example:
What Direction is moons revolution?
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
