Compass- is a navigational instrument that shows directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points) – north‚ south‚ east‚ and west. Intermediate directions are also defined. Usually‚ a diagram called a compass rose‚ which shows the directions (with their names usually abbreviated to initials)‚ is marked on the compass. When the compass is in use‚ the rose is aligned with the real directions

Astronomy HOMEWORK Chapter 1 9th ed 5. In Figure 1-8‚ what is another name for the “Sun’s annual path?” Ecliptic. This term also refers to the mathematical plane of Earth’s orbit. 10. By about how many degrees does the Sun move along the ecliptic each day? The Sun moves 360 degrees in 365.25 days along the ecliptic‚ so Degrees per day = (360◦ )/365.25 days = 0.986◦ = 1◦ . Round to 1 degree since the question says “about how many...” 14. What are the vernal and autumnal equinoxes? What are the summer

In the 15th century‚ the western and eastern sail technology was comparable. The mariner’s compass‚ so crucial to navigation out of sight of land‚ was developed from the Chinese magnetized needle of the 8th century‚ and it traveled via land route to the Mediterranean where about the 12th century the Europeans or the Arabs developed the true mariner’s compass (floating)‚ but China soon received the improved model.27 So both East and West had the mariner’s compass in the 15th century.

Cartesian Coordinate System -A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates‚ which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines‚ measured in the same unit of length. Cartesian coordinate system is a way of locating objects in either two- or three-dimensional space by specifying their X(horizontal) position‚ Y (vertical) position and Z (through) position. It is used in graphics and in positioning text

As the name mid latitude suggests‚ they are found outside the tropics but before the north and south poles‚ approximately between 23 and 66 degrees on each of the hemispheres or the temperate zones of the earth between the Antarctic and the Arctic Polar Regions and the tropics.

How does longitude and latitude affect people? Latitude and Longitude both affect the weather and the temperature. The weather and temperature also affects us. The farther away from the equator the more extreme the weather is going to be. For latitude the closer you are to the equator the hotter it will be. The farther away you are from the equator the colder it will be. The region near the equator affects the most sun because of the shape of the Earth. The light also has to penetrate

Buying a new computer is no easy task. Finding one with the right specifications at the right price requires shopping around for a good price‚ research on the different computers available‚ and evaluating if the decision is necessary and financially sound. In doing each of these things‚ we are using several Principles of Economics and studying the effects of supply and demand on different brands. For the purposes of this paper‚ we will look at things as if we are buying an HP laptop. When you

The correlation between light shelf size/position and latitude is created from arrangement of light shelves according to latitudes for different office heights. 3. CUN-OKAY light shelf curves are obtained by joining interior and exterior end points of suitable light shelves separately according to latitudes for 3 different office heights. 4. A new method is found to use CUN-OKAY light shelf curves for random latitudes and random office
