1 answer:

3 0

This was really useful in determining one's location during the times when technology wasn't that advanced yet. First is that it depends as to what time of the day is it being used. If used at day, most probably at high noon, the altitude of the sun would be measured and recorded and/or remembered. Most of the times, the latitude is determined during the day since it is much easier. At night, a star of known declination will be substituted to the sun. Most of the times, the North Star is used. Then, an almanac will be utilized to determine the declination of the Sun or the star, depending on which was used. After which, the formula is applied, which is latitude = 90 degrees - measured altitude +declination.

Sorting data is an integral part of data analysis. You might want to arrange a list of names in alphabetical order, compile a list of product inventory levels from highest to lowest, or order rows by colors or icons. Sorting data helps you quickly visualize and understand your data better, organize and find the data that you want, and ultimately make more effective decisions.

You can sort data by text (A to Z or Z to A), numbers (smallest to largest or largest to smallest), and dates and times (oldest to newest and newest to oldest) in one or more columns. You can also sort by a custom list you create (such as Large, Medium, and Small) or by format, including cell color, font color, or icon set.

Notes:

To find the top or bottom values in a range of cells or table, such as the top 10 grades or the bottom 5 sales amounts, use AutoFilter or conditional formatting.

False. Apache (which serves about 63% of the web pages) just serves the files. How it looks is a combination of the HTML and CSS that the site uses.
