this is the Doppler effect where sound waves are compressed in front of a moving object and exapnded behind it. Thus the pitch appears higher as an object approaches than when it receeds. At just below Mach 1, the sound wave is compressed to twice the frequency so the Doppler shift would be almost 2 octaves (factor of 4 between compresson and expansion) as the object passed.

What is a parallax error?

Parallax, more accurately motion parallax, is the change of angular position of two observations of a single object relative to each other as seen by an observer, caused by the motion of the observer. Simply put, it is the apparent shift of an object against a fixed background that is caused by a change in the observer's position.

What is the line that the sun traces across the celestial sphere?

The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.

When will an object change its state of motion?

An object changes its state of motion when it accelerates or decelerates, usually caused by a force.


Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?

The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.


Why does the size of the shadow change in a day?

Because the sun's change in apparent motion across the sky results in a change in the angle of the shadow that is cast.
