Answer:
a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.
Explanation:
Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.
Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.
Answer:
Mass – The single most important property that determines other properties of the star. Luminosity – The total amount of energy (light) that a star emits into space. Temperature – surface temperature, closely related to the luminosity and color of the star
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) The earth rotates by 2π radian in 24 x 60 x 60 s
so angular speed ( w ) = 2π / (24 x 60 x 60) = 7.268 x 10⁻⁵ rad / s
b ) Linear speed of city of Arlington ( v ) = w r = w R Cosλ where R is radius of the earth and λ is latitude .
v = 7.268 x 10⁻⁵ x 6.371 x 10⁶ cos 32.7357
389.5 m /s
acceleration = w² r = w² R Cos 32.7357
= (7.268 x 10⁻⁵ )² x 6.371 x 10⁶ x cos 32.7357
=283.08 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²
c) velocity ratio =
w r /w R =
R cos 32.73/ R
= Cos 32.73
= 0.84 .
