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. this statement is completely true. this statement is not true at all; stars rise all along the western horizon and set all along the eastern horizon. this is not true at all; stars rise in the west and set in the east. this statement is not true at all; at this latitude, stars neither rise nor set. 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:

The Earth rotates from west - to - east. Stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west, but in reality, it is due to Earth's rotation. In fact, stars rise all along the eastern horizon and set all along the western horizon, not just at specific points.

Answer:

This is not entirely true; stars rise all along the eastern horizon and set all along the western horizon.
