GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Polar Orbit, Sun-Synchronous Orbit, Mercator Projection
Document Summary
Rotate north-confederacy around the earth, as earth twisting under it orbit once every 90 mins flying fast. Greenland looks huge africa looks small farther from the equator the more distorted. Satellites have 3 types of orbital cavity s. Line of latitude are parallel run east to west on ball : parallel to the equator (0 ) increase northward or southward: north pole = 90 n south pole = 90 s. Spatial: characteristic of physical space, its measurement, distribution of affair within. Where each 24-hour interval light of cially begins and sweeps westward opposite of the heyday. Meridian west side of meat is always one day ahead/later no matter what prison term of day you hybridizing it the date changes. If you want to have equal area have to stretch and shear -- > line of latitude and elevation that are no longer at right slant.
