What are the altitude and azimuth of a star halfway between the horizon and zenith to the due east?
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
What is the correct term Zenith is the angle between an object and the horizon?
If I understand the question, then it includes a false statement.The angle between an object and the horizon is the object's 'elevation' angle.'Zenith' is a point in the sky . . . the point directly over your head, whoseelevation angle is 90 degrees regardless of which direction you're facing..
What is the great circle passing through the south point on the horizon the zenith and the north point on the horizon is called?
A "meridian"
Which of the following correctly describes the meridian in your sky?
a half-circle extending from your horizon due north, through your zenith, to your horizon due south
Define true zenith distance n meridional zenith distance?
Defining true zenith distance is knowing the difference between Africa and south America.True zenith distance is associated with Greenwich line and meridional zenith distance is defined with the celestial equator which instructs the basin of south america. -AG

What is the altitude of the sun above the northern horizon at noon in Jakarta Indonesia on the winter solstice(Assume the latitude of Jakarta is 6(Degrees south)?
At the time of the southern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which circles Earth at 23.44° north latitude. So at 6° south latitude the sun appears 29.44° from the zenith (a location's zenith is directly overhead). Since there are 90° between the zenith and the horizon, the angle for which you are looking is the difference between 90° and 29.44°, 60.56°.
What is the opposite of horizon?
In astronomy zenith (the point in the sky exactly above you) is the point most distant from the horizon. As a horizon defines how far down the sky you can look, zenith defines how high up you can look.

What is the definition of zenith?
The highest point. It is used especially about the position of the sun; when the sun is at its zenith, it is as far from the horizon as it gets. At the equator, when the sun is at the zenith, it is right overhead.
What is the great circle passing through the south point on the horizon the zenith and the north point on the horizon is called?
A "meridian"
How many moon diameters is it from the horizon to the zenith?
Apparent (visual) diameter of the [full] moon . . . . always near 1/2 degree. Angle from horizon to zenith . . . 90 degrees . . . roughly 180 apparent moon diameters.
What are the difference between the lg TV screen and zenith TV screen?
i have NO idea what you are talking about
How high does the sun get on the spring equinox on the equator?
90 degrees above the horizon (the zenith).
Which of the following correctly describes the meridian in your sky?
a half-circle extending from your horizon due north, through your zenith, to your horizon due south
What is hc in astronomy?
Hc = Calculated altitude. Above the horizon is positive, below the horizon is negative. The range is from - 90º in the nadir to + 90º in the zenith
