The number of commercial airline flights per day, worldwide is around the 93,000 mark. If we halve that, to account for the rougly 50/50 split of day/night time, that leaves us with approximately 46,500 flights per night, worldwide. According to most astonomers, there are millions of foreign objects entering the atmosphere (approximately 100 tonnes worth) each with the capability to become a 'shooting star' each day. For the purpose of arguement, lets say 3 million each day. Again, if this is halved, we are left with approximate 1.5 million shooting stars worldwide each night. Therefore, the ratio of airplanes to shooting stars worldwide, during night time hours, is 46,500 to 1,500,000. Therefore, it is over 30 times as likely that you will see a shooting star than an airplane on any given night.
The morale of the story: Go outside and find a shooting star and stop wishing that airplanes are shooting stars.
What else can I help you with?
If two stars differ by 8.6 magnitudes what is their intensity ratio?
The intensity ratio between two stars that differ by 8.6 magnitudes is approximately 630 times. This is because for every 1 magnitude difference, the ratio of intensities is about 2.512. Therefore, for an 8.6 magnitude difference, the ratio would be 2.512^8.6.
Which state has the most mass shootings?
Louisiana
What element has a low density and is sufficiently strong this combination makes this metal useful as a structural metal in airplanes and aerospace vehicle?
Titanium is the metal that has a low density and is sufficiently strong, making it ideal for use in airplanes and aerospace vehicles. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it lighter than steel but still able to withstand high stress and temperature conditions.
Why are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stovescars and airplanes?
Airplanes use a fuel called kerosene.
The radius of Betelgeuse varies by about 60 percent within a period of 3 years If the stars surface temperature remains the same what is the ratio of the two absolute magnitudes?
If the radius of Betelgeuse varies by 60% within three years, its luminosity will also change proportionally. Since absolute magnitude is related to luminosity, the ratio of the two absolute magnitudes will be the square root of the ratio of the luminosities. So, the ratio of the two absolute magnitudes will be approximately 1.22.
If the ratio is 5 stars to 4 smileys if you wanted 60 smileys what is the new ratio?
75 stars
In the night sky objects produce lights are called?
-- stars -- meteors -- airplanes.
What is the ratio of stripes to stars on the flag?
The ratio is 3:1 in the Cameroon flag.
Why you cant pretend that airplanes in night sky are shooting stars?
Airplanes are man-made objects that travel at a consistent speed and altitude, making them distinguishable from shooting stars that are natural phenomena. Additionally, airplanes typically have blinking lights and follow a predictable flight path, further differentiating them from the quick, bright streaks of light produced by shooting stars.
Can you pretend that airplanes at night are like shooting stars is from what movie?
Charlie St. Cloud
What can you see in the sky?
In the sky, you can see clouds, the sun, the moon, stars, and sometimes airplanes.
What is the ratio of stars to stripes on the flag?
50 stars, 13 stripes (50:13).
Do heavier airplanes fly faster?
Not necessarily. The aircraft with better power to weight ratio will fly fastest.
What is the ratio of stars and strips on the flag?
50:13
What is This Song It goes like can you pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars you could really use a wish right now wish right now?
it is called airplanes
What is the ratio of stars to stripes on the American Flag?
973:334
When was Cumbria shootings born?
