The declination of a star in our sky The angle between the celestial equator and the star, measured along a great circle Passing through both celestial poles. The angle between your zenith and your horizon is 90°. The Sun rises due east in the sky when viewed from any site on the Earth, but ONLY on the first day of spring and the first day of fall. Two celestial coordinates, which together describe a star's position precisely in our sky, are: right ascension and declination ...

Manhattan College SCI 210: Oceanography Chapter 5: The Atmosphere and Ocean Learning Objectives In this chapter, we examine radiational heating and cooling of the Earth-atmosphere system: 1. the interaction of incoming solar radiation with the atmosphere, ocean, and continents, 2. the flow of infrared radiation to space, and 3. the greenhouse effect. We also discuss heat transport by atmospheric and oceanic circulations 1. Understand atmospheric circulation as it relates to ocean cir...
