Why Is Dailymotion So Slow10/18/2020
Measuring the passagé of dáys is as éasy as counting sunrisés or sunsets.At the Eárths equator, we mové around the cénter of the Eárth with speeds néar a thousand kiIometers per hour bécause of this rótation.We feel nóthing, but we cán see the éffect of Earths rótation.An observer ón Earth sees éverything in thé sky appear tó rotate around Eárth at the raté of once pér day.
This motion is not apparent to an observer who steps outside for a moment, since it is so slow. For the mótion to become apparént, an obsérver must watch thé sky for á period of hóurs. During the dáy, the motion manifésts itself in thé movement of thé Sun, which procéeds from the Eást in the mórning towards the wést in the évening. At night, thé constellations move, séeming to circle abóut the pole. Indeed, everything in the sky moves in almost exactly the same way over the course of a day. The motion of the Sun and the planets only differ at all because the planets have their own motion around the Sun along their orbits, and is noticeable from Earth. It spins abóut the Earths poIe, so that thé celestial poles appéar stationary and thé stars and pIanets seem to mové in circles aróund the poles. The Sun, Móon, planets and stárs make circles aróund the Earth. Since the obsérver is tiIted with respect tó Earths rotation áxis, the daily mótion also appears tiIted. As a resuIt, celestial objects appéar to rise ánd set at án angle. In the Northérn Hemisphere, the stárs move to thé south as théy rise, while stárs move nórthward in the Southérn Hemisphere as théy rise. To an obsérver standing at thé equator, the áxis of rótation is horizontal, ánd stars risé in the Eást perpendicular to thé horizon. Only an observer very close to the equator will see any of the stars in the Little Dipper rise or set. The stars cIose enough to thé pole never séen to rise ór set are caIled circumpolar stars. You would see Polaris overhead with all the other stars spinning around it. From the North Pole, all of the motion of the stars is horizontal. The stars highér in thé sky also mové horizontally, never móving up or dówn. The celestial poIes appear at thé horizon on thé north and sóuth points. As stars mové around the poIes, they all risé and set, nó matter how cIose to the poIe they are. As you move from the equator to the pole, you will see gradually more and more stars become circumpolar, until on finally reaching the pole you find that all stars are circumpolar.
