Условие
The Earth’s rotation axis happens to be pointing almost exactly at Polaris now, but Polaris will not always be the North Star. The direction of the rotation axis precesses with a period of 26000 years. Sometime in the future, star A, which has an angular separation of from Polaris, will be the North Star. How many years from now star A will be the North star?
A. 1500 years
B. 13000 years
C. 2000 years
D. 5000 years
E. 26000 years
Отговори
- 5000 years
Решение
D: 5000 years
Considering a spherical triangle with vertices North Ecliptic pole (K), Polaris (P) and Star A (A), we have , and is given. Using the spherical law of cosines, . The Earth’s rotation axis rotates around North pole with the period of 26000 years, so Star A will be the North star after years.
