Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
What is the sum of measures of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees?
A universal truth. (Provided the triangle is on a flat surface, and not a curved surface such as that of the earth!)
How is the curved horizon proof of the Earth shape?
we have a horizon which means that we cannot see all of the earths surface
Is the surface of water flat?
Technically, No. Water in a glass (or other vessel) has a curved surface known as a meniscus. A large body of water (like an ocean) actually follows the curve of the earth. So the surface of the water is a curve or section of a sphere.
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle greater than 180 degrees?
It is not possible in plane Euclidean geometry, but always true on a convex curved surface such as the face of the Earth.
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
What is the term that describes the curved surface of the earth transferred to a flat surface?
nelcomous (its a term in greek which is a term described the curved surface of the earth transferred to a flat surface.) Nelcomous
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
How many minutes does the sunlight touch the earth surface?
Sunlight is constantly touching the earth's surface. It never stops. (we hope)
Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
What happens to sunlight hits earth surface?
It gets absorbed by the surface, reflected, and even radiated back as infrared rays where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What is the percentage of sunlight reflected by the earth's surface?
On average the earth reflects about 30% of the incident sunlight.
What is a flat representation of earth's curved surface called?
A map.
How many does a curved surface does a square pyramid have?
One surface, if one surface is flush with the curvature of the earth's surface.
Why do the sun rays strike the earth's surface at different angles?
because earth is curved
Why do surface winds blow on a curved path?
Because the Earth rotates.
What reflects sunlight off Earth's surface?
Water.
