Picture the fabric of spacetime as described by Einstein; bending around dense objects. Light on Earth curves because of the Earth's gravity, the way Earth warps spacetime. While you hear the bending of light mentioned most often in relation to black holes, any gravitational field can affect light - although not as much as near a black hole!

How can you curve light?
Light travels in straight lines on earth, so you can change its angle by refraction but not curve it. However over interstellar distances it has been observed that light is bent by gravitation.
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
They curve with the curve of the Earth.
Does global winds curve because of the earth's rotation?
yes
A blackbody curve relates the wavelength of emitted light to?
The temperature of the object.
What is isotherm curve?
A isotherm is a line of air pushing down on the earth belive it or not.

When was The Curve of the Earth created?
The Curve of the Earth was created on 2007-11-13.
What is a light curve?
Light
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
They curve with the curve of the Earth.
How does light curve at all?
Light does not bend.
Why do the global winds curve like they do?
Global winds are caused by unequal heating of the Earth's surface and they curve because... If the Earth did not rotate, Global Winds would not curve. They would be straight as a line. So because of EARTH'S ROTATION, global winds curve.
Why do global winds curve as they blow from one part of the Earth's surface to another?
The winds curve because of the rotation of the Earth.
What is the curve for the earth science regents?
Earth science curve is the biggest curve in all regents! if u manage to get up to atleast a 60 that curve will be around mind 80's. ! seriously 85% of students pass due to the curve. so yeah! : ) hope i helped Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science - June 2009
What is a light curve graph?
A light curve graph that displays an object's brightness over time mostly used in variable star astronomy.
What is the minimum height to see the earth's curve?
The ground.
How fast must a projectile moving horizontally travel so that the curve it follows matches the curve of the Earth?
The answer is 8km/s
Why does a satellite curve?
I think the earth is wobbling on its axis and it makes the tracking lines appear to curve when they are laid over the map.
