Equator used in a sentence

Equator in a sentence as a noun

An equator speed of 24% light speed... The Universe is so strange...

The shortest distance between two points is not a strait line on a map[1], especially when you are a long way from the equator. [1] For most maps.

Hawaii also has year-round sun, being close to the equator. The state also has rebate programs for solar panels.

Most likely they use the mercator projection which has places further from the equator appear bigger than the ones near the equator.

The closer you are to the equator, there's little variation in daylight and thus it doesn't matter. Surprisingly the farther up north you are, there is so much variation that 1 hr doesn't really matter when your days go from 19 hrs long to less than 5 hrs.

Because India is close to the equator, the environment has a greater carrying capacity than the kinds of first-world, northern nations that the author is used to. Citation?

Launching close to the equator helps the most, because rockets get the biggest headstart. To minimize risk to people, launch sites are in locations that have low-population corridors for long distances to their east.

Let us imagine setting one up along the equator, across the width of our home continent of Africa. It is a special kind of chain, involving parents and children, and we will have to play tricks with time in order to imagine it.

Lightning strikes can be heard on radio at a point on the earth exactly symmetrical to the source, using the equator as plane of symmetry. In fact, the signal bounces around back and forth between the two points, following a line on the magnetosphere.

A possible configuration would be that both geographicals poles of the same sign, but the field around the equator is of a different sign, like a quadrupole perhaps. Disclaimer: I'm a physicist but not an astrophysicist.

And at that point the arrays installed will be fixed non tracking arrays tilted towards the equator at an angle calculated to get the maximum energy during the year.

I was already coming to the realization, but the turning point was when a friend of mine told me her experiences working in countries close to the equator, where seasons and cycles don't exists. There, the culture is to live by the day, because winter never comes and they don't need to prepare for hard seasons.

This is made even more complicated by the fact that SpaceX isn't launching from the equator, which means the satellite will need to change its orbital inclination. Inclination changes are less expensive the 'higher' up you are, so SES8 is in an orbit with an apogee almost twice as high as its eventual orbit.

Here are two little known, but potentially deadly issues: * 1986 F-16 Inversion when flying over the equator - Flying the F-16 in simulation over the equator, the computer got confused and instantly flipped the plane over, killing the pilot [in simulation]. And since it can fly forever upside down, it would do so until it ran out of fuel.

Because India is close to the equator, the environment has a greater carrying capacity than the kinds of first-world, northern nations that the author is used to. Thus, for this reason alone, India is likely to have a different ratio of people to development, since less development is required to sustain one person's resource utilization.

There are some complex magnetics that go on inside the sun, but the gist of it is that there is a differential in rotation rates between the poles and the equator of the sun. This causes field lines to be dragged along the equator, which then get knotted up and form coronal holes and other phenomena.

Quote Examples using Equator

Now they've found "streaks near the equator, including in the gargantuan Valles Marineris canyon". Any subsurface ice here would likely have sublimated. So it's looking pretty likely that this is subsurface liquid water that is leaking out from time to time. \nAn alternative explanation - dust avalanches - was offered when the same scientists unveiled their initial results back in 2011. With the observation of so many streaks at the equator now the simplest explanation appears to be groundwater welling up to the surface.
