What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
How do you find the arc length of a minor arc?
The answer depends on the information that you have. If the arc subtends an angle of x radians in a circle with radius r cm, then the arc length is r*x cm.
How many hours of sunlight a day does the sea get?
The sea would get essentially the same amount of sun as neighboring land of the same latitude. The difference being there aren't significant hills or valleys so it would be more evenly distributed (at the same latitude) Obviously different latitudes would differ with the length of day. Areas within the artic circle will have periods of sunlight 24 hrs a day, and periods of darkness 24 hrs a day.
How many hours of sunlight does earth get each day?
Earth gets 24 hours of sunlight each day. There is always 50% of the Earth illuminated by the sun.
What is the angle of the sun in Florida?
1) Where at in Florida? Florida is a long state, and that will account for a large difference in the sun angle. 2) What day and time are you talking about? The sun angle varies from season to season, day to day, and minute to minute.
What is determined by the earth's revolution and angle of tilt?
The length of the day and the length of the seasons
How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth the earth affect day and night on seasons?
its gives it a boner
Absorber plate are inclined in solar water heater.why?
To collect the most sunlight. The angle relates to the angle the sunlight comes into your area. Aiming it directly at the sun all day would maximize solar collection.
How does the length of your shadow change in the day?
It will Lengthen and shorten during the day, as the angle of the sun changes
How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
Why the shadows are tallest in the morning?
Shadows appear tallest in the morning because the sun is low on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of sunlight. As the day progresses, the sun rises higher, reducing the length of shadows.
Why do different areas of Earth receive different amounts of solar radiation?
1) The angle at which the sunlight hits the ground (more acute as you approach the poles. 2) The variable length of "day". 3) Terrine, the planet is not smooth.
Is earth day the same around the world?
If you mean the length of the day, yes - that is the same around the Earth. The Earth rotates as a rigid body. If by day length you mean hours of sunlight. On the same lines of latitude day length will be the same, but due to the wobble in the rotation of the earth, day length is different along lines of longitude.
Why do day and night change length throughout the year?
Because of the amount of sunlight changing from the earth being on its axis
How does day length affect the flowering of day-neutral plants?
Some plants need more sunlight then others to reproduce and some need less.
What is the shadow length of person who is 5'4?
That depends upon the time of day, which day of the year it is and where the person is. The shadow length depends upon the angle of the sun above the horizon: shadow_length = height_of_person ÷ TAN(angle_of_sun_above_horizon)
What happen to the length of the day on the earth If there is no atmosphere?
With no atmosphere, there would be no "twilight". Twilight is caused by the scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere. With no atmosphere, you'd go from "day" to "night" with nothing in between.
