Without an atmosphere, the equatorial curve would show minimum daily values on the solstices in June when the sub-solar point is located at 23.5°N and in December when the sub-solar point is at 23.5°S latitude.
Explanation:
At the sub-solar point, the sun strikes directly at the surface with an angle of 90 degrees at a given point.
Solistice refers to that point in time when the sun’s zenith is located at the farthest point from the equator.
During summer solistice on June 21, the sun’s zenith reaches northernmost point, sub-solar point is fixed at 23.5°S Tropic of Cancer making the earth tilt 23.4 degrees
During winter soliscitse on December 21, the sub-solar point is fixed at) Tropic of Capricorn.
Answer:
150 million kilometres
Explanation:
The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun and equal to 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) or 8.3 light minutes.
Answer: Go to the harbor. When a ship sails off toward the horizon, it doesn't just get smaller and smaller until it's not visible anymore. Instead, the hull seems to sink below the horizon first, then the mast. When ships return from sea, the sequence is reversed: First the mast, then the hull, seem to rise over the horizon.
Climbing to a high point will allow you to be able to see farther if you go higher. If the Earth was flat, you'd be able to see the same distance no matter your elevation
Time = (distance) / (speed)
= (30 km) / (30 m/s)
= (30,000 m) / (30 m/s)
= (30,000 / 30) sec
= 1,000 seconds
= 16 minutes 40 seconds
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.
We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude

the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity

and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):


By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get

From which we find

which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.
By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
