What else can I help you with?
When is the sun in the shape of a semicircle?
Sunset or sunrise.
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
What line separates earth from the sky on which vanishing point sits?
Horizon line. :)
How do you find the angle of depression?
The angle below horizontal that an observer must look to see an object that is lower than the observer. Note: The angle of depression is congruent to the angle of elevation (this assumes the object is close enough to the observer so that the horizontals for the observer and the object are effectively parallel; this would not be the case for an astronaut in orbit around the earth observing an object on the ground).
What is the line called where the sky and earth seem to meet?
The horizon is the name normally used. hyposinthnise
What is the point to an observer the earth and sky appear to meet?
The horizon.
What is the frame of reference for the sunset?
The frame of reference for the sunset is typically the observer's position on Earth. The changing position of the Earth as it rotates on its axis causes the sun to appear to set below the horizon.
Why is it that ships disappear over the horizon?
Ships appear to disappear over the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer, it eventually reaches a point where the curvature of the Earth blocks the line of sight between the observer and the ship, making it seem as though the ship has disappeared.
Scientifically what stretches from horizon to horizon?
The horizon is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky. It is the furthest point where the Earth's surface seems to meet the sky. In reality, the horizon is a circular boundary that varies based on the observer's height and the curvature of the Earth.
Where would an observer on earth's equator find the NCP?
Exactly due north of him, and on the horizon.
Why do ships seem to disappear over the horizon from the bottom upwards?
Ships appear to disappear over the horizon from the bottom upwards due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer on the shore, the bottom part of the ship becomes obscured by the curvature of the Earth before the top part, creating the illusion that the ship is sinking into the horizon.
What is the name of the line where the sky and the earth or sea appear to meet called?
The line where the sky and the earth or sea appear to meet is called the horizon.
Does horizon change?
The horizon appears to be flat and level to us because of the curvature of the Earth. However, technically, the horizon does change slightly due to various factors such as altitude, weather conditions, and the observer's position on Earth.
How far is a horizon in outer space?
In outer space, the distance to the horizon depends on the observer's altitude. For example, from the International Space Station (ISS) at about 400 km above Earth's surface, the horizon is approximately 2,984 km away. As the observer's altitude increases, the distance to the horizon also increases.
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What does the Horizon great circle on the celestial sphere represent?
A circle through the Earth's sphere perpendicular to the observer's latitude
How bright does a star appear from earth?
It depends on its intrinsic brilliance and its distance from the observer
