That point on the map of the stars is called a solstice.

There are two of them. The sun reaches the northerly one ... the one described in

the question ... on June 21, and the other one, the southerly one, on or about

December 21.

How do you find celestial points?

You measure the angles from east from the first point of Aries (which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox) and north from the ecliptic (declination).


Particles that make up matter are in what motion?

Particles that make up matter are in constant motion. This motion can be translational (moving from one place to another), vibrational (vibrating in place), or rotational (spinning around an axis). This motion is a result of the internal energy of the particles.


What moon phase is on the northern hemisphere?

No. When you think about it, the highest appearance of the moon in the skyhas to take place during the Winter, in either hemisphere.The moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic.So the highest possible appearance is when the moon isabove the ecliptic AND when the ecliptic is high.The moon is above the ecliptic for half of every lunar cycle ... 2 weeks out of every 4.The ecliptic is high at night when it's low during the day ... i.e. in Winter.


Why you stay at same place when you jump in moving train or bus?

When you are inside a moving train or bus, you are moving at the same speed as that train or bus, and you have the same momentum, so even when you jump, and are no longer in contact with the floor, your existing momentum will carry you along with the vehicle, under normal circumstances. If you happen to jump at a time with the train or bus is changing the speed or direction of its travel, however, you will find that you do not stay in the same place, with respect to the train or bus. You need to have solid contact with the vehicle for its own changes of motion to alter your own motion.


3 types of motion?

The three types of motion are uniform motion, variable motion, and periodic motion. Uniform motion is when the speed and direction stays the same. But in Periodic motion, the motion is repeated. But in contrast to all of them, Variable motion is when eventually the direction or the velocity (speed) change.Alternatively, in physics there are only three types of motion when describing particles eg electrons, molecules, atoms etc:transitional motion that takes an object from one location to another;vibrational motion that takes the object backwards and forwards over the same relatively small distance;rotational motion where an object is spinning.Most movement consists of a mixture of all three but the particles in a solid would have mainly vibrational motion where as gas particles would have them all.

What is the place where the sun stops its northward motion along the ecliptic?

The place where the sun stops its northward motion along the ecliptic is known as the June solstice or summer solstice. This is when the sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky, marking the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.


Examples problem in motion along straight line?

A problem in motion along a straight line is a problem that takes place in one dimension. An example problem is an object on a straight conveyor belt.


What is an example of translatory motion?

Any motion where the object moves from place to place, e.g. someone riding a bike.


What is the difference between linear and translatory motion?

Linear motion is a motion along a straight line, and be described mathematically using one spatial dimension. Its motion can be either constant motion or zero acceleration. Translation motion is a movement that changes position of an object


What is meant by rectilinear motion?

A motion along straight line is called rectilinear motion. In general, it need not be one - dimensional; it can take place in a two dimensional plane or in three dimensional space. But, it is always possible that rectilinear motion be treated as one dimensional motion, by suitably orienting axes of the coordinate system.


What is simultaneous motion?

The motion in which translator motion and rotatory motion takes place simultaneously is called simultaneous motion


Where are Saturn and venus compared to altair?

The star Altair stays in one place in the sky, but Venus and Saturn move on (or near) a circle called the ecliptic, like the other planets. But none of the planets goes close to Altair because it is well off the ecliptic.


Why do we normally place time along the horizontal axis of a motion graph?

Time is typically placed along the horizontal axis of a motion graph because it provides a clear and intuitive framework for analyzing motion over intervals. This orientation allows us to track changes in position, velocity, or acceleration as they occur over time, making it easier to understand the dynamics of the motion. Additionally, time is a continuous variable that progresses in one direction, which aligns well with the concept of chronological events in motion analysis.


If you place a book on top of a table is the book at rest or in motion?

If the book is not moving, it can be considered at rest. However, since the Earth is constantly in motion (rotating on its axis and orbiting the Sun), the book is actually moving along with the table due to these larger-scale movements.
