How does the altitude of the Sun at noon on the same day in the Northern Hemisphere’s summer compare for two observers at lati-

tudes 12° north and 54° north, respectively? a. It is the same for both observers because they are in the same hemisphere, experiencing summer. b. It cannot be determined without knowing their longitudes. c. It is 42° higher for the observer at 12° north because of the differ- ence in latitude.

Answer:

It is 42° higher for the observer at 12° north because of the differ- ence in latitude.

Explanation:

The sun's altitude can be given by the following formula:

S = 90 - L + D

In which S is the sun's altitude, L is the latitude of the place and D is the declination of the sun.

Since the comparasion occurs at the same day, the value of D will be the same for both cases, so it can be disconsidered in our calculation.

First observer

L = 12

S = 90 - L + D = 90 - L = 90 - 12 = 78

Second observer:

L = 54

S = 90 - L + D = 90 - L = 90 - 54 = 36

The correct answer is:

It is 42° higher for the observer at 12° north because of the differ- ence in latitude.

On saturn, would a person choke in the atmosphere, be squashed by the extreme gravity, float with ease, freeze, burn up, or some
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Saturn is the distinct and large gaseous planet in the solar system that is comprised of a ring on its exterior. It is a planet which has the lowest density. Saturn has an atmosphere of very high thickness and the dominant gas present here is hydrogen and helium. The pressure and the depth in Saturn are directly proportional to one another.

As one goes deep inside the Saturn, the body will eventually shrink and get squashed due to the extreme pressure and also will get freeze due to the extremely low temperature.
