What is the ecliptic, and why is it tilted with respect to the celestial equator?

Physics

Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

The ecliptic is the line in the celestial sphere traced out by the sun as the rotates (the path in the sky that the sun takes over head during one 24hr day). The celestial equator is just the extension of the regular equator on the surface of the earth.

This means that there will be a "tilt" between the ecliptic and the celestial equator that depends on your latitude of the observers location on the earths surface.

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature

When you go "down" the food chain by continuing to ask "what does it eat?" at what category of living things do you always end u
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

When you jump, you exert a pushing force against the ground. Gravity pulls you back down. Why can a person jump higher on the mo

Answer:

This is because the force of gravity is much less on the moon than on the earth, therefore the person wont be pulled down much and will jump higher

Explain why engineers leave a gap in a concrete bridge (answer must relate to density)
seraphim [82]
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
