How is the altitude angle and zenith angle related to latitude and declination?
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
What is the angle for maxium altitude?
A baseball, cannonball, or other projectile launched at a 45° angle above the horizon will achieve maximum horizontal range. A projectile launched straight up will achieve maximum altitude, but you kind of have to watch it and be careful when it returns.
How do you measure angle of incidence and angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the angle measured between the normal and the incident ray.. the angle of reflection is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal..
Is an altitude always sometimes or never an angle bisector?
sometimes, the altitude of isosceles triangles resting on their base and equilateral triangles are angle bisectors
What is an angle measured 190 degrees?
A reflex angle
What is angle measured above the altitude?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
Why is the altitude of the sun measured in degrees above the horizon - rather than in feet and meters like aircraft?
The altitude of aircraft is measured above the ground, not above the horizon, and it's a distance. The altitude of the sun is not measured above the ground, and it's not a distance. If it were, it would always be some number near 93 million miles. The altitude of the sun is the angle that an observer sees between his horizon and the sun, and it's different for different observers in different places.
What are scientific altitude?
its the height measured above sea level. its the height measured above sea level.its sabi ni naizer...
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.
What is the height or altitude of the land?
The altitude or height of land is the distance measured vertically from a specific point on the Earth's surface to sea level. It is usually measured in units such as meters or feet above sea level.
The altitude of an object in the sky is it angular distance of?
The altitude of an object in the sky is the angular distance of the object above the observer's horizon. It is measured in degrees or radians from the horizon to the object.
What are azimuth and altitude to describe?
Azimuth is the angle, typically using true north as zero degrees to an object from viewers location. An altitude (if expressed as an elevation angle from the viewer) provides a line of sight to an object in space. If you were standing at a point and facing true north and there was an airplane flying at 20,000 ft and you knew the elevation angle you could compute the range and have an (X,Y,Z) location for the object.
Is 6 miles a measurement of altitude?
NO Altitude is the distance above sea level and is generally measured in feet in the US, if you mean 6 miles above sea level then it would be a measurement of altitude. FYI 6 miles above sea level is higher than Mt. Everest.
Is altitude a scalar or a vector?
Altitude is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction associated with it. It is the distance above a given reference point, typically measured in terms of height above sea level.
Can an altitude be a perpendicular bisector?
Yes - the altitude of an equilateral triangle is perpendicular to the side chosen as the base and bisects that side and the opposite angle. Also, the altitude of an isosceles triangle when measured from the third side (the side that is not equal to the other two sides) is a perpendicular bisector of the base and also bisects the opposite angle.
Can you measure altitude in miles?
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
How is the altitude angle and zenith angle related to latitude and declination?
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
