How wide is the sun in degrees when viewed from Earth - like how high would the sun be if the very bottom of it touches the horizon?

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.
Can you define altitude of a celestial body?
Altitude of a celestial body is the angular distance between the horizon and the body when viewed from a specific location on Earth. It is measured in degrees and ranges from 0° at the horizon to 90° at the zenith, directly overhead.
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.
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.
How many degrees must an object be revolved through to be viewed orthographically?
An object must be revolved 90 degrees to be viewed orthographically. Orthographic views are typically shown from the front, back, top, bottom, left, and right sides of an object, each requiring a 90-degree rotation.
What is optical horizon?
The optical horizon is the point at which the sky appears to meet the Earth's surface when viewed from a specific location. It is also known as the visible horizon and may be affected by factors such as elevation and atmospheric conditions.
What is the line where the earth and the sky called?
The line where the earth meets the sky is called the horizon. It is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky when viewed from a specific point.
What is the name given to were sky meets earth?
The horizon is the line where the sky meets the earth when viewed from a particular point. It is the apparent junction of Earth and sky or of land and water.
What is the horizon layer?
the horizon layer is a layer that separates the soil layers. For and example O horizon which is litter ,A horizon which is topsoil ,B horizon which is subsoil , C horizon which is weathered bedrock and R horizon which is unweathered bedrockI Love All My Ask Friends Peace Myah Is Out!!!!
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 name given to where the earth and sky meet?
The horizon is the name given to where the earth and sky appear to meet. It is the apparent line that separates the sky from the land or water when viewed from a specific point.
