Question
suppose you observe the night sky in motion overhead over the course of an hour while standing on the north pole. as constellations move, which statements (labels will be used.) constellations undergo: negative changes in azimuth positive changes in azimuth negative changes in altitude positive changes in altitude negative changes in right ascension positive changes in right ascension negative changes in declination positive changes in declination
At the North Pole, the altitude of the stars (and constellations) remains constant because the celestial pole is directly overhead. The Earth rotates from west - to - east. Azimuth is the angular distance along the horizon measured clockwise from the north point. As the Earth rotates, constellations move in a circular path around the celestial pole, resulting in positive changes in azimuth. Right ascension and declination are celestial coordinates similar to longitude and latitude on Earth. The rotation of the Earth does not cause a consistent positive or negative change in right ascension or declination over a short - term observation like an hour.
