What is the measurement of north and south of the equator?
Declination is.
Why is position of crescent moon different in Florida than in the Midwest?
The orientation of the crescent Moon depends on the time, the position of the observer (that's you), the declination of the Sun (how far north or south of the equator) and the declination of the Moon. If the crescent Moon were a bow, the arrow would be pointed toward the Sun.
Does a star that is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator have 30 degrees declination?
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.
What is the latitude of an observer at the equator?
Latitude is zero at every point on the equator.
Does the analemma determine how far a country is located from the equator?
No, the analemma is a figure-8-shaped diagram representing the declination of the Sun. It shows the variation of the Sun's position in the sky throughout the year. The distance of a country from the equator is determined by its latitude, which is the angular distance north or south of the equator.
What is the measurement of north and south of the equator?
Declination is.
A star that is located 30 north of the celestial equator has?
A declination of +30 degrees. This means it is 30 degrees north of the celestial equator.
Why is position of crescent moon different in Florida than in the Midwest?
The orientation of the crescent Moon depends on the time, the position of the observer (that's you), the declination of the Sun (how far north or south of the equator) and the declination of the Moon. If the crescent Moon were a bow, the arrow would be pointed toward the Sun.
How can one determine the declination of a star?
To determine the declination of a star, one can use a tool called a star chart or a star atlas. By locating the star in the night sky and referencing its position relative to the celestial equator, one can measure the angle of the star's position above or below the equator to find its declination.
Are Lines of constant declination parallel to the celestial equator?
yes
What are the three celestrial coordinates?
The three celestial coordinates are right ascension, declination, and distance. Right ascension is analogous to longitude and measures the angle of a celestial object eastward along the celestial equator. Declination is similar to latitude and indicates how far north or south an object is from the celestial equator. Distance refers to the space between the observer and the celestial object, often measured in light-years or parsecs.
Does a star that is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator have 30 degrees declination?
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.
The measure of how far north or south a place is from the equator is called?
Declination
If an observer on earth measures the altitude of polaris and finds it to be 0 degrees where is the observer?
At the Equator.
What is the example of a declimanation?
A declination is a term used in astronomy to describe the angular distance of a celestial object from the celestial equator. For example, the declination of the star Sirius is approximately -16.7 degrees, indicating its position relative to the celestial equator.
What is the latitude of an observer at the equator?
Latitude is zero at every point on the equator.
Does the analemma determine how far a country is located from the equator?
No, the analemma is a figure-8-shaped diagram representing the declination of the Sun. It shows the variation of the Sun's position in the sky throughout the year. The distance of a country from the equator is determined by its latitude, which is the angular distance north or south of the equator.
