Will a star have an azimuth of 135 degrees?
That's very possible. It simply means that in order to find it, you face southeast, and then look straight ahead and some angle above the horizon. Viewed from the north or south pole, every star in your sky will have an azimuth of 135 degrees once every day. (But first you'd have to decide on a reference direction to designate as zero azimuth, since 'southeast' doesn't exist at the poles.)
What is the angular size of a circular object with a inch diameter viewed from a distance of 2 yards?
It is approx 0.8 degrees.
What is the angular size of a circular object with a 2 inch diameter viewed from a distance of 4 yards.?
It is 0.8 degrees.
Which solid figures have a top view that is the same as the bottom view?
Which solid figures have a top view that is the same as the bottom view?The top and bottom view of every solid figure MUST be the same. For example, the view of a square based pyramid is a square: whether viewed from above or below.
Do all parralles and marideans meet at angles other than 90 degrees?
Meridians and circles of latitude (parallels) will meet at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator only. All other crossings will not be 90 degrees as they converge to the two poles. To correct the previous answer: All meridians crossing parallels are not at 90 degrees due to the curvature of the spherical triangle's three sides. However, they will all cross at 90 degrees as viewed each from a specific point in space which would be perpendicular to the earth's N-S axis and directly over (in line) with the meridian.
What is the altitude of polaris above the horizon at the tropic of cancer?
Polaris will be 23.5 degrees above the northern horizon when viewed from the Tropic of Cancer.
Where in the sky is the north star when viewed from the U.S.?
-- Direction: Due north.-- Altitude above the horizon: Same angle as your latitude. Very roughly 30-45 degrees in the US.
If your latitude is 55 degrees what is the suns angle in June?
Viewed from latitude 55° north, the sun's highest altitude on June 21 is31.5° down from the zenith, or 58.5° up from the horizon.
On what dates is the angle of assention of the sun at its zenith as viewed from Austin TX closest to the angle of assention of the sun at its zenith on the summer solstice as viewed from New York?
The sun is never straight overhead at either of these two locations, as their latitude is greater than 23.5 degrees north. Austin, Texas, is about 30.25 degrees north, so the sun will be 30.25 - 23.50 = 6.75 degrees off directly overhead, or 83.25 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice. New York is about 40.75 degrees north, so the sun will be 40.75 - 23.50 = 17.25 degrees off directly overhead, or 72.75 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice.
Why does ocean horizon seem to rise when viewed from shore?
The horizon seems to rise when watching it on a shore because the sun is moving down. To a person, it looks like the water is rising over the sun.
What is the altitude of Polaris viewed from the north pole at latitude 90 degrees?
As seen from 25 degrees north latitude and ANY longitude, Polaris (the 'North Star', the 'Pole Star') appearswithin about 1/2 degree of due north and 25 degrees above the northern horizon, at any time.
Are Harvard Extension school degrees such as ALB credibile and how are they viewed by employers?
no.
Can you enter BA after your name?
You can, however you may get a lot of strange looks. Degree abbreviations are placed after names (Business Cards) are typically for masters and doctorate degrees. Below these degrees, it is viewed as inappropriate.You can, however you may get a lot of strange looks.

How many degrees in a cross?
Degrees measure angles. A cross is not an angle, although it could be viewed as four angles, adding up to 360o.

At what degree does the sun rise?
The degrees of when the sunrise will vary depending on the location that it is being viewed from. Usually the sunrise will be at 90 degrees, but other days may be different.
