Question

part (a) check the box labeled \show never rise region\. this adds a shaded region to both diagrams above indicating the portion of the sky that never rises above the observers local horizon (which is determined by the latitude). drag the crosshair north, south, east, and west along the flat world map at bottom - left. which statement below best describes this motion? as one travels northward from the equator, less and less of the celestial sphere is accessible. as one travels eastward, more and more of the celestial sphere is accessible. the same amount of the celestial sphere is visible from any latitude. as one travels northward from the equator, more and more of the celestial sphere is accessible. as one travels eastward, less and less of the celestial sphere is accessible. hints: 0% deduction per hint. hints remaining: 1 feedback: 0% deduction per feedback. grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% submissions attempt(s) remaining: 4 25% deduction per attempt detailed view

Explanation:

As one moves northward from the equator, the celestial - south pole dips below the horizon, and the portion of the celestial sphere that is never visible (the never - rise region) increases. So, less and less of the celestial sphere is accessible.

Answer:

As one travels northward from the equator, less and less of the celestial sphere is accessible.
