To get the kite up in the air far enough for the wind to take it, rather than being subject to ground turbulence, someone usually has to run fast while letting out string so the kite can get higher. More applicable when there is very little wind near the ground (under 50 feet or so), but also applicable in and near cities (especially cities like Chicago) where buildings channel wind in gusts and crosswinds that make the kite very difficult to fly with any kind of stability until you can get it above most of that turbulence. IMPORTANT NOTE: DON'T FLY KITES WITHIN 200 YARDS OF POWER LINES! Also, beware of kite eating trees (just ask Charlie Brown)
About 98. Near enough that you don't have a dangerous fever.
No. Definitely not if the lines intersected near their means.
The lines on a basketball court assist with the rules. The half court line indicates where the game starts. The lines on the outside indicate the out-of-bounds lines. The "arc" near the basketball goal indicate the distance that extra points can be made. The small circle near the basketball goal indicates where free-throws happen and the lines that converge from the small circle towards the basket is called the key. During free-throws, players aren't allowed inside of the key. Additionally, during regular play, offensive players can't stay in the key for longer than 3 consecutive seconds.
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
