A very slow motion of earth's axis that requires 26,000 years to complete is called ________.

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards the Earth.

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.
