LAB 7. Where is 8. What CHAPTER 26-SKILL SHEET 1: LOADS OF LUNACY · Procedure Since earth has a normal tilt of 23.5 degrees, we can use that standard to help us calculate the angle of the sun through the seasons for our location (New York). Step 1: Using your ESRT, find the approximate latitude of your present location (Center Moriches) Step 2: The Maximum angle of Insolation that can be received anywhere on earth is 90 degrees (think right...
Can someone help me with this question and show all work 1) Planet Velocities and Energy (33 pts) We talked about how planet formation involves the collisions of bodies (planetesimals, embryos) leading to the growth (and heating) of a planet. Let's think about the velocities and energies involved here. a) The speed of a body in its orbit around the Sun is given by the equation: Here Vis the speed of the body in m/s, G is the gravitational constant,...
