Question

part (a) set the latitude on the flat world map at bottom - left to 0° n: on the equator. select \long star trails\ at the lower - right, and then click \add star randomly\ twenty times to add twenty stars in the sky. finally, click \start animation\ and allow the entire sky to complete one full rotation. then pause the animation. the length of the star trails above the horizon now represents the relative amount of time each star spent \visible\ from that latitude over the course of one full day. for the sake of simplicity, disregard any details about whether or not the sun is up at any point. people typically state \stars rise in the east, and set in the west\. based on what you observe in the simulation, which statement below correctly describes the truth of this statement? this is not entirely true; stars rise all along the eastern horizon and set all along the western horizon. correct! part (b) to what extent does the conclusion drawn in part (a) apply to all other latitudes? it applies equally well to all other latitudes without exception. it only applies to the equator; everywhere else sees stars rise in the west and set in the east. it only applies to the equator; everywhere else sees all stars rise due east and set due west. it only applies to the equator; everywhere else sees an entirely circumpolar sky. it applies equally well to all other latitudes except the poles. submit hint feedback i give up! 4 submission(s) remaining 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:

At the equator, stars rise along the entire eastern horizon and set along the entire western horizon. Away from the poles, this general pattern holds as the Earth's rotation affects star - rise and set positions in a consistent way for most latitudes. At the poles, the situation is different due to the Earth's axis orientation, with some stars being circumpolar.

Answer:

It applies equally well to all other latitudes except the poles.
