The celestial equivalent of latitude is called declination and is measured in degrees North (positive numbers) or South (negative numbers) of the Celestial Equator. The celestial equivalent of longitude is called right ascension.
The Celestial Sphere :
North Celestial Pole (NCP) and the South Celestial Pole (SCP) - these are just the north and south poles extended into space.
Celestial Equator - The earth's equator, but at a much greater radius. ...
Horizon - The horizon changes depending on your position on earth.
I hope this helps
Answer:
Denver
Explanation:
Denver, Colorado, is the city from the list that has the least chances to have a tropical wet/dry climate. This city actually has summers that are considered as mild, with the temperatures being in the the lower 30's C degrees, while the night temperatures drop to twice less than the daily temperatures. The winters on the other hand, are cold and snowy, which is not a trait of the tropical climates, but instead of the continental climate types, with the temperatures regularly being bellow the freezing point throughout the winter months.
A common rock type found within oceanic crust is called basalt rocks. It is dark just like an igneous rock and it is basically a type of lava from a volcano.
Answer:
In this unit, we will be discussing Latitude as a climatic control. By latitude we are not talking about geographic location. Rather our interest will center on the effect of latitudinal location on the receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. To a degree the Greeks were on to the idea when they proposed their Torrid, Temperate and Frigid temperature zones over 2000 years ago.
02. Specifically in this section on Latitude, we are going to cover four topics:
Earth-Sun Relationships. This section will deal with the actual receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. The receipt of solar energy is directly related to the relationships which exist between the Earth and the Sun across the year. All of you would recognize the basic relationships. Each day we can see that the Sun "rises" in the east and sets in the west. Most would also recognize that over a 12 month period the Sun "moves" from north to south in our sky. In other words, the Sun not only "moves" from east to west, but also north to south. And how about the fact that days tend to get longer in the northern hemisphere from December 21 to June 21, and then grow shorter from June 21 to December 21? Earth-Sun relationships cause changes in the amount of insolation received day to day and seasonally. And, depending upon the relationship, the amount of insolation changes locationally and through time. The resultant temperatures created due to these changing relationships create pressure differences which are largely responsible for winds. The winds in turn drive the ocean currents and our weather.
