Please explain all answers! Thank you! The figure below shows the relative position of the Earth (the circle in the middle) and the Moon (the small circle on the orbital path around the Earth (the arrows on orbital path circle show the moving direction of the moon). On this figure, an unknown phase of the moon is currently at its highest position in the sky. Given that, this particular phase of the Moon rises from the horizon around 3am. Please answer the following questions related to this figure. C1. Please draw a small circle on the orbital path to indicate the position of the moon phase that may result in a lunar eclipse. Write down “lunar eclipse” next to this small circle. Please explain your draw. C2. When the Moon is at this position on the orbital path (shown in Question C1), will it always cause a lunar eclipse? Please explain your answer. C3. Please draw a small circle on the orbital path to show the approximate moon’s position when a sidereal month is completed (with…
which of the following is an accurate description of how the sun drifts annually relative to the celestial sphere? Choose one of the following: a. the sun appears to shift only north or south, with no apparent drift east or west b. each day, the sun appears to drift primarily from east to west c. each day, the sun appears to drift primarily from west to east d. the sun does not appear to drift at all relative to the background stars, as defined by our 24 hour day
Figure 1 shows the position of the Sun, Earth, and Moon for a particular phase of the Moon. The Moon has been shaded on one side to indicate the portion of the Moon that is not being illuminated by sunlight. A person has been placed on Earth to indicate an observer's position at noon. Recall that with this representation Earth will complete one counterclockwise rotation in each day. Note that this drawing is not to scale. Orbit of the Moon Sun Earth Figure 1 6) What time is it for the person shown in Figure 1? Circle one: 6 A.M (sunrise) 12 P.M. (noon) 6 P.M. (sunset) 12 A.M (midnight)
What is the reading? What does this mean?
Use the figure below to answer the following question. In this Earth-Sun system drawing we have indicated the direction of both the daily rotation of Earth about its own axis and its annual orbit about the Sun. Imagine you are the observer shown on Earth in the northern hemisphere. Seven months AFTER the time shown, which constellation will be highest in the sky at midnight? To North Star Pisces Aquarius Capricornus Aries 1 day Sagittarius Scorpius Taurus 365 days Libra Gemini Virgo Cancer Leo A. Capricornus B. Aries C. Libra D. Gemini O E. Sagittarius
Use the figure below to answer the following question. In this Earth-Sun system drawing we have indicated the direction of both the daily rotation of Earth about its own axis and its annual orbit about the Sun.

To North Star Pisces Aquarius Capricornus hw 2 Aries 1 day Sagittarius / Scorpius Taurus 365 days Libra Gemini Virgo Cancer Leo O A. Scorpius B. Aquarius O C. Virgo D. Leo E. Cancer
Use the figure below to answer the following question. In this Earth-Sun system drawing we have indicated the direction of both the daily rotation of Earth about its own axis and its annual orbit about the Sun. Imagine you are the observer shown on Earth in the northern hemisphere. Three months prior to the time shown, what constellation is highest in the sky at noon? To North Star Pisces Aquarius Capricornus Aries 1 day Sagittarius Scorpius Taurus 365 days Libra Gemini Virgo Cancer Leo A. Scorpius B. Aquarius O C. Virgo O D. Leo E. Cancer
The figure below shows the motion of Star B in the sky. What direction will star B be moving at 3 pm? North Star 3 AM North A. A. away from the horizon (up) O B. east (to the right) C. south (out of the page) D. west (to the left) E. toward the horizon (down)
In Figure 1-4, the division between daylight and darkness is at the right on the globe of Earth. How do you know this is the sunset line and not the sunrise line?
What are advantages and disadvantages of apparent solar time? How is the situation improved by introducing mean solar time and standard time?
What is the altitude of the north celestial pole in the sky from your latitude? If you do not know your latitude, look it up. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, answer this question for the south celestial pole, since the north celestial pole is not visible from your location.
