If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees and its altitude is 45 degrees where is this star in the sky?
If a star's azimuth is 90 degrees, it is located directly east on the horizon. An altitude of 45 degrees means that the star is positioned halfway up in the sky, forming a right angle with the horizon. Therefore, this star would be visible in the eastern sky at an angle that is halfway between the horizon and the zenith.
What else can I help you with?
What are azimuth and altitude use 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.
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 do you call the instrument that measures the angles formed by the line of sight to the north star and the horizon?
Azimuth
How many degrees in a star shape?
138
Which tool is used to draw stars?
star tool
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The altitude of a star that is setting due west is 0 degrees, as it is on the horizon. The azimuth would be 270 degrees if we consider 0 degrees as north and increase in a clockwise direction.
What is the azimuth and altitude of the star Betelgeuse?
As of 2021, Betelgeuse has an azimuth of around 225 degrees and an altitude of about 27 degrees when observed from the northern hemisphere. These values will change throughout the night and over the course of the year due to the Earth's rotation and orbit.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
Where in the sky would a star with an azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?
A star with an azimuth of 180 degrees would be due south, and an altitude of 20 degrees would place it 20 degrees above the horizon. So, the star would be in the southern part of the sky, 20 degrees above the horizon.
What will be the azimuth and altitude of a star which setting directly in the northwest?
Azimuth = 315° (True) Altitude = 0
Where in the sky would a star with azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?
due south and slightly above the horizon
How are altitude and stars related?
Defining a stars location is done with a coordinate system just as one would use a X & Y system for graphing. Locating a star involves what compass direction the star can be found (azimuth) and how high above the visible horizon (altitude).
What is the altitude and the azimuth of the two pointer stars in the big dipper?
If you spend any time outside at night looking at the stars, you may have noticed that they're constantly moving. The Big Dipper turns completely around the Pole Star every day, almost like the hand of a huge clock. So, if you pick any star at all in the sky, except for the Pole Star itself, the altitude and azimuth of any star you pick are constantly changing.
The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north?
The distance of a star on the horizon, measured in degrees, is called its azimuth. Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north to the star's position in the sky. It can range from 0° (north) to 360° (back to north).
What Azimuth and altitude are used to describe the star?
Azimuth is the horizontal angular distance measured clockwise from true north, while altitude is the vertical angular distance above the horizon. Together, these coordinates help locate a star's position in the sky.
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of?
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of altitude, azimuth, and time.
What is the distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from the true north?
That's the star's "azimuth".
