The Way Trigonometry is used in Astronomy By: Joanna Matthews Practical Applications of Advanced Mathematics Mrs. Amy Goodrum July 15‚ 2003 Abstract This report is about how trigonometry is used in Astronomy. Even though trigonometry is applied in many areas‚ such as engineering‚ chemistry‚ surveying‚ and physics‚ it is mainly used in astronomy Trigonometry is used to find the distance of stars‚ the distance from one planet to another and from one plant to the sun. It is possible to find the

and more humid regions. Overall‚ I think its offensive that the media has taken skin tone and weight and made them such superficial and dividing elements of physique. It doesn’t matter your weight or color‚ it’s the inside that is important and astronomy has helped me keep sight of that. In a greater sense it has also taught me

Telescopes in Astronomy Once upon a time‚ we believed the Earth was at the center of our universe. We were seriously mistaken. We have come to find that at the center of most galaxies is a giant black hole that keeps everything together. With the use of telescopes‚ we have made it possible to see the “impossible”. We are able to see the geographic landscape of distant planets and moons. Telescopes have made it possible to measure the speed of light‚ understand gravity‚ and grasp other laws of physics

1. The parallax of the star 75 Leo is 0.10 and its apparent visual magnitude is +5.18. The absolute visual magnitude of 75 Leo is +5.14. 2. A G2 I star is larger in diameter and more luminous than the sun. 3. spectroscopic parallax can be used to determine the distance to a star when the spectrum of the star can be used to determine its spectral type and luminosity class. 4. Luminosity class IV objects are known as sub giants. 5. For stars

An adventure into Astronomy Late at night I like to go into my backyard with a telescope and look at the stars that far away in the night sky. The view of thousands of stars feeds me with wonder and amazement about both the stars origins‚ and what treasures they may hold floating around them. All life needs a host star to form around‚ and all life comes from the ashes of these once glorious masses of gas. Astronomy offers us a great view of the universe around us‚ you can join me and others‚

1. What are the relationships among Earth’s mantle‚ crust‚ astheno sphere‚ and lithosphere? The lithosphere is basically the strong outer shell of earth. It is roughly 100km thick depending on its age‚ and is broken into plates‚ known as the tectonic plates. Within the lithosphere is the crust as a portion of the upper mantle. The crust is the outer most portion of the earth and takes up less than 1% than the total volume of the earth. It is commonly compared to the skin of an apple‚ whereas

LEDs… Release only ONE color of light Produce very little heat What is an LED? They are semiconductor devices that can convert electrical energy directly into light due to the nature of the bonding that occurs in the semiconductor solid. Type of bonding is directly related to conductivity of solid. Bonding in Elemental Solids Electronegativity – the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself. Atoms with low e.n. (metals) don’t hold valence electrons tightly valence

Ernest Rutherford Uncertainty is everywhere! Many processes in nature (chemical‚ physical‚ economic‚ etc.) follow laws that are not exact‚ but are subject to a certain amount of chance variation. It is impossible to eliminate all sources of variation from an experiment‚ no matter
