In addition, they are invariably tilted at an angle around 45 , to make sure that the arrival of the sun's rays is as close to perpendicular as possible. ... The rays of the summer sun, high in the sky, arrive at a steep angle and heat the land much more than those of the winter sun, which hit at a shallow angle. ...

Deriving the sine or cosine of an arbitrary angle takes a bit more math than is covered here. ... Note first of all that a right-angled triangle contains two angles. ... Because the side opposite to A is the one adjacent to (90њ- A), it follows that the sine of one angle is the cosine of the other, and vice versa: . ... Consider the triangle PQR (drawing) with all three angles equal to 60њ. ... If we want the angle A to grow in equal steps of 15 o , we still need the sine and cosine of 15њ and 75њ. ...

... We can help students grasp the significance of Hubble's extremely keen eye, and learn a bit about angles and math in the process, with the following in-class activity. ... Looking through binoculars or telescopes allows us to magnify a small section of the sky. To measure sizes or distances in that small section, astronomers divide a degree into 60 smaller pieces called arcminutes, and further subdivide minutes into 60 smaller sections called arcseconds. ... 30 feet = . ... 36 seconds . ...
