Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the

signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.

Answer:

The Ionospheric Effect

Explanation:

One of the largest errors in GPS positioning is attributable to the atmosphere. The long, relatively unhindered travel of the GPS signal through the virtual vacuum of space changes as it passes through the earth’s atmosphere. Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

a block measures 3.5 cm long 2.8 cm wide and 1.6 cm deep. the density of the block 2.5 g/cm. calculate the volume of the block.
luda_lava [24]
Volume of a block can be found by: length × width × height. So:

3.5cm × 2.8cm × 1.6cm = 15.68cm^3

___ acceleration occurs when an object speeds up
AleksandrR [38]

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

When there is an increment or increase in the magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as positive acceleration.

Whereas when there is a decrease in magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as negative acceleration.

Thus, we can conclude that positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.
