If the earth didn't rotate, wind would travel the globe in straight lines. Instead, the spin of the earth causes winds to seemingly curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This curvature of the winds is known as the Coriolis effect. In the...

To say an eyepiece can make or break an astronomer is going too far, but when you look through a good eyepiece for the first time you realise that what you’ve been observing for all those years could have looked much clearer. Some astronomers are glad they went through the years of wre...
The higher you go, the more you range you’ll get. Surprisingly the curvature of the Earth even on short distances does have a measurable effect on your range. The curvature is approximately 8 inches per mile or 1 foot every 1.5km (source) which means holding your radio higher and getting...
that have burned over 1.25 million acres. There have been 7 fire-related deaths and 1400 structures lost.The “lightning siege” over the past ten days has resulted in over 13,000 lightning strikes, many of which were from high-based thunderstorms that did not provide much rain to the su...
So, if I take a gyroscope made of a steel band 2 inches by 0.3 inches and spin it up to the same velocity, xxx, it will lift off the Earth, right? If you mean a small gyroscope, no it won't. The curvature of the cable has to be substantially vertical and the force holding ...

As advanced as it is, the ship’s radar can only detect targets in its line of sight, and the missile’s low altitude, along with the curvature of Earth, means the missile only becomes detectable at 30 miles away. Math tells us that, given the speed of the missile and its...
