The Law of Conservation of Energy
Answer:
It is 52° below the celestial equator.
Explanation:
The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.
The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary
The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.
Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.
Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.
About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide
Explanation:
The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges
The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.
When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.
Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.
Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.
