Using vocabulary such as meridian, zenith, etc., describe the relationship of a star's altitude above the horizon and the observer's latitude. if you are positioned at the earth's equator, and a given star is at your zenith, what happens to that star's position (relative to you, the observer) as you walk in a straight line to the north pole? why are some stars and constellations only seen during certain seasons?

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
