Small circles on the Earth are lines of latitude that do not align with the equator, which is the largest circle. These circles are parallel to the equator and include lines such as the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn as well as the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Unlike great circles, which divide the Earth into two equal halves, small circles vary in size and are used in navigation and mapping to denote specific latitudes. They represent points of equal latitude but differ in circumference as you move away from the equator.
What else can I help you with?
How do you put 7 small circles in 3 big ones so that each big circle as 4 small circles?
Draw three circles that touch in a shape of a circle. Draw two small circles in each big one and another in the intersection. It is supposed to be a Venn Diagram.
Why are lines of longitude called great circles?
Because they make big circles around the Earth.
How do you put 7 small circles in 3 big ones so that each big circle has 4 small circles?
You interlock the 3 large circles as in how part of the Olympic rings look, or as in a Venn diagram. So, each large circle shares are a section with each of the other two, and there is a central section that is within all 3 circles. Now, simply place a small circle in each of the 7 sections of the diagram: - the 3 sections that are only in 1 large circle - the 3 sections that are within 2 large circles - the 1 central section that is within all 3 large circles Voila! You have 4 small circles within each large circle.

How do you create three different drawings showing a number of circles and triangles in which the ratio of circles to triangles is 2 3?
For each drawing . . .-- Draw a small number of circles.-- Draw that same number of circles again.-- Draw that same number of triangles three times.To create a different drawing, do exactly the same thing,but start out with a different small number.

What is difference between great circle and small circle?
A "great circle" is any circle on a sphere whose center is also the center of the sphere. The shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere is a piece of the great circle on which both points lie. A "small circle" is any circle on the sphere that's not a 'great' circle.

How did Ptolemy explain planet motion?
Ancient astronmers used shell theory. The earth was center, then came the moon, planets and sun, then other stars. At first it was a circular system. It seemed more "perfect", that degenerated into ellipses as the mathematics didn't work out.
Which is bigger the earth or the moon?

Why are lines of longitude called great circles?
Because they make big circles around the Earth.
Who taught that the Earth is stationary and at the center of the universe with the Sun the Moon and the planets moving around Earth in perfect circles?
It was mentioned byEudoxus at first,thenanswer 2: The ancient Greeks knoew that planets do not move in simple circles and Ptolemy's model explains the orbits, which are slightly elliptical, by using circles on circles, in other words the Earth (for example) goes once round a small circle called an epicycle each year, while the centre of the epicycle, called the deferent, moves in a circle. In Ptolemy's theory the Sun moves round the Earth in that manner, while in Copernicus's theory the Sun stays still and the Earth moves.
