How do you place a satellite in earth orbit around sun?
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
Where would you be if Polaris is seen on the horizon?
Your at the equator if you see Polaris at the horizon
At sea level which location would be farthest from the center of the earth?
The equator
Why is Earth's rotation not felt?
We can't feel the Earth's rotation because we're moving along with it. So is the atmosphere. Also . . . You NEVER feel "uniform" motion. You only feel CHANGES in motion, i.e., changes in speed or direction. On the rotating Earth, the speed is constant, and the direction changes by only about 1 degree in 4 minutes, which is too gradual to be noticeable. Imagine you went to the equator, where the Earth's rotational speed is greatest. If you stood on a balance to measure your weight there, you would notice a slight reduction in your weight because of the "centrifugal effect". However the difference would be too small to "feel". The difference, caused by the Earth's rotation, between your weight at the poles and at equator would much less than 1%.
If you built a concrete wall all the way around the Earth's equator that is two feet wide and four feet tall how much more would the Earth weigh?
it ways the same gomer (just google gomer)
