What is the eath's axis mean?
That refers to the imaginary line, from the north pole to the south pole, around which Earth rotates.That refers to the imaginary line, from the north pole to the south pole, around which Earth rotates.That refers to the imaginary line, from the north pole to the south pole, around which Earth rotates.That refers to the imaginary line, from the north pole to the south pole, around which Earth rotates.
What does vertical line look like?
up and down like a pole
A woman walks in a straight line with the sun to her right at six o'clock in the morning. Toward which pole does she walk?
She is walking toward the North Pole
Is it possible to step across the equator?
The Equator, or any other line of Latitude, is merely an imaginary line. Though locals may mark its position on the ground for the tourists. You may indeed step across it. Similarly for lines of Longitude that run from Pole to Pole. As a line, of course they have no thickness.
A pole is 20 feet long its shadow is 7.5 feet long if you draw a line from the tip of the pole to the tip of the shadow how long will the line be?
Assuming the ground is flat, you can apply Pythagoras's theorem and: length = sqrt(202 + 7.52) = sqrt(456.25) = 21.36 feet (approx).
A line joining pole and centre of curvature of the mirror is called?
The line joining the pole and the centre of curvature of a mirror is called the principal axis. This line is a key reference point for determining the focal length and characteristics of the mirror.
What is the center of spherical mirror?
The geometric centre of a spherical mirror is called its pole. The centre of the hollow sphere for which the mirror is a part, is called the centre of curvature. The line joining the centre of curvature and the pole is the principal axis. A light ray incident on a spherical mirror, after reflection appears to pass through the principal focus in the case of a convex mirror and passes through the focus in the case of concave mirror. The diameter of the spherical mirror gives the measure of its aperture
What are the parts of concave mirror?
The main parts of a concave mirror are the pole (center point), principal axis (imaginary line passing through the pole and center of curvature), focal point (half the distance between the pole and center of curvature), and the center of curvature (center of the sphere from which the mirror is a section).
What is the name of the line joining the poles at right angles to the equator?
"Meridian of longitude"Your description of the line is interesting. Can you draw a line from north pole to south pole that does NOT form right angles with the equator ???
The earth spins on its what?
On its AXIS. The axis if an imaginary line that strikes through the Earth from North Pole to South Pole through the centre of the Earth.
What is principal axis of a mirror?
The principal axis of a mirror is an imaginary line that passes through the center of curvature and the vertex of the mirror. Light rays parallel to the principal axis either converge or diverge after reflecting off the mirror.
What prevents one from blowing directly from the North Pole to the South Pole?
The curvature of the Earth is one barrier to prohibit you from blowing directly from one pole to the other.
What is an axis of rotation?
An axis of rotation is the axis around which any body rotates, or the line joining the North Pole and the South Pole about which the planet Earth rotates on a daily basis.
What prevents wind from bowing directly from the North Pole to the South Pole?
The spinning and the curvature of the Earth may both impede this phenomenon.
What what does the earth rotate?
Its axis The earth rotates around its axis - an imaginary line running from the North Pole through the centre of the earth to the South Pole. It rotates around this line once every day. it is this rotation which causes day and night. axis
What is name given to the centre of the mirror?
It is pole.
What is the imaginary line around the earth that makes it spin?
There is no such line. The imaginary line through its centre is the axis, which the Earth rotates around; the imaginary line an equal distance from the poles is the equator. Neither make it spin - that is caused by momentum from the planet's formation.
