Affirming Keplerian motion and geometry
A geostationary satellite fixed to an axial longitude meridian will
observe axial rotation at 24 hours/360 degrees . With each consecutive rotation,it will orbserve that the difference between the location of the meridian and the 'terminator' for each 24 hours will change in accordance with Keplerian orbital rates of motion.The seperation between the axial meridian and its orbital counterpart , in terns or time or distance ,is best appreceated at the Equator. http://geophysics.ou.edu/solid_earth...from_space.jpg http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/astronom...ages/04f15.jpg Affirming Keplerian geometry by applying terrestial ballistics may have been fine centuries ago,but modern technology affords a direct observation of Keplerian orbital motion through the changing nature of fixed axial orentation and changing orbital orientation. It also rids climatology of that variable tilting Earth conception for climate norms and hemispherical weather patterns (seasons) through the Newtonian conceptions. |
