Ascension-Declination • Vernal equinox is where the ecliptic and celestial equator meet. • Ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun in one year (it is also along the plane in which the Earth revolves around the Sun). • Right ascension is analogous to longitude and is measured in hours‚ minutes‚ and seconds‚ from the point of vernal equinox. • Declination is analogous to latitude and is measured in degrees from the celestial equator. • Measurements of declination are either positive (north) or negative

Chapter 1: 1: Contrast physical geography and cultural geography A: Cultural geography centers on things such as people‚ religions‚ languages‚ foods‚ and traditions‚ While physical geography centers on the aspects of the earth‚ the soil‚ the mountains‚ water‚ landforms etc. 2: If any idea cannot be disproven by some possible observation or test‚ can such an idea be supported by science? Explain. A: The book states that in order for something to be considered scientific there must be some test

Acceleration from Gravity on an Incline I. Introduction: Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving body. Galileo was the first person to actually experiment and examine the concept of acceleration back in the seventeenth century. Acceleration can be determined by calculating the gravity and an incline. An incline is slope that is deviated between horizontal and vertical positions. Gravity is the natural force of attraction towards the center of the earth. Because of this

Equatorial calms (Doldrums) throughout the year a belt of low pressure surrounds the earth in the equatorial zone (except in the vicinity of the eastern Indian Ocean‚ East Indies and Australian region during the north hemisphere winter) most of air motion is vertical with light and variable winds having a slight westward drift 2.

Southern Hemisphere‚ and vice versa. The times in between‚ when no end is pointed towards the Sun‚ then we get autumn and spring. Although not every place in the world has four seasons‚ or a winter and a summer as we think of it. Countries near to the equator - the line which goes round the middle of the earth - have very mild seasons. The weather stays almost the same temperature all the year round. Can you think why this is? The middle doesn’t tilt very much does it? This means the seasons don’t change

Some celestial bodies do not have their own heat and light. They are lit by the light of the stars. Such bodies are called planets. Jupiter‚ Saturn and Uranus have rings around them. These are belts of small debris. These rings may be seen from the earth with the help of powerful telescopes. ‘Sol’ in Roman mythology is the ‘Sungod’. ‘Solar’ means ‘related to the sun’. The family of the sun is‚ therefore‚ called the solar system. My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pakodas. MY
