What is the latitude between the horizon and the north star if the angle is 39 degrees?
The answer depends on which angle is 39 degrees.
How many obtuse angle in a star?
A regular star with n points has 2 interior angles of which n are acute and n are reflex.
What is the degree of rotation of a star?
the degree of a rotaiton of a star is 37 degrees
What navigational instruments measure the angle of a star to the horizon?
Sextants
How many sides would a regular polygon have if one of its exterior angles measures 30 degrees?
If one of its exterior angles is 30 degrees, then it is a star with 6 points and 12 sides. 360 degrees / 30 degrees = 12 angles It is a regular dodecahedron.
How many acute angles are in a 5 pointed star?
the answer is 5 each tip of the star is a acute angle and each angle on the inside of the star is an obtuse angle. there are 5 obtuse angles and no right angles.
What is the latitude between the horizon and the north star if the angle is 39 degrees?
The answer depends on which angle is 39 degrees.
What is the definition of dent angle in a star polygon?
The dent angle of a star polygon is the angle formed by the bent line between two points that form the point angles. I found a PDF that defines the way to calculate that dent angle and checked it out with a know star. It works: For a star polygon with n points and 2n congruent sides and a point angle of A: the dent angle B = (360/n) + A So for an 8 pointed star with a point angle of 20 degrees, the formula says: (360/8) + 20 = 65 degrees Note that if the point angle is 135 degrees it is really no longer a star polygon because the two (otherwise bent) line between each of the 8 point becomes 180 degrees. The above formula also proves that Equally for an 8 pointed star polygon formed by joining each second point (forming two over lapped squares, the resultant dent angle becomes 135 degrees. Again the formula confirms that angle. Two home-runs feels pretty good! The URL reference is: teach.valdosta.edu/plmoch/MATH3162/Spring%202009/11-3.pdf
If the spider rotates 144 degrees at each step how many degrees does she rotate to create the star?
need more context...
Why does the equator represent zero degrees latitude?
I believe it dates back to when the North Star was used to find latitude by ancient sailors. Degrees latitude was found by the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since the North Star sits on the horizon at the equator the angle is zero therefore latitude is zero degrees.
What is the angle between the northern horizon and the North star Polaris if your latitude is 75 degrees north?
The North star will be 75 degrees above the horizon. Whatever degree you are at latitude, the North star will be the same degrees up. So at the north pole (90 degrees north), the star will be at the zenith (straight up). While at the equator (0 degrees north) the star will be at the horizon.
What is the relationship between the position of the north star and latitude?
The angle between the north star and the horizon is roughly your position in degrees latitude.For example, look at the North Star and point one arm straight at it, and then hold your other arm level with the horizon. The angle between your arms is roughly the degrees of latitude of your location.
How many degrees is the north star above the horizon in seattle?
Seattle's latitude is about 47.6 degrees North. So the altitude of Polaris above the northern horizon is always within about 1/3 degree of that angle as seen from there.
Blank is how far around the map the star is?
Declination, which is measured as an angle, north is positive and south is negative. The declination of a star etc. is also the latitude at which the star passes overhead.
Is Altitude defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon?
Almost . . ."Altitude" is the apparent angle of the object above the horizon.
How many degrees in a star shape?
138
What is the angle of rotation of a star?
Short answer: 72 degrees Longer answer: To rotate a star until it looks the same you need to make 1/5 of a complete 360 degree turn (since a star has 5 points). Sice 1/5 X 360 = 72, the answer is 72 degree angle rotation.
