Answer:

The point straight overhead on the celestial sphere for any observer is called the zenith and is always 90 degrees from the horizon. The arc that goes through the north point on the horizon, zenith, and south point on the horizon is called the meridian.

From any location on Earth you see only half of the celestial sphere, the half above the horizon.

If you stood at the North Pole of Earth, for example, you would see the north celestial pole overhead, at your zenith. The celestial equator, 90° from the celestial poles, would lie along your horizon.

Why do tin roofs make creaking sounds on hot days?
laiz [17]

Answer: Yes, on many slate-roofed homes as temperatures change, such as cooling at night or heating during the day, thermal expansion or contraction of the slates may cause movement that in turn causes snapping, popping, or cracking noises, even bangs and clanks or clicks from the roof.

The earth has a mass ME = 5.98 · 1024 kg and the moon has a mass MM = 7.36 · 1022 kg. The distance from the center of the earth
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2 x 10^20 N

Explanation:

Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg

Mm = 7.36 x 10^22 kg

r = 3.82 x 10^5 km = 3.82 x 10^8 m

The gravitational force between earth and moon is

F = G Me x Mm / r^2

F = (6.67 x 10^-11 x  5.98 x 10^24 x 7.36 x 10^22) / (3.82 x 10^8 x 3.82 x 10^8)

F = 2 x 10^20 N
