AI Thread Summary
The best time to observe Orion is during late fall to winter, as it is most visible when it is approximately 12 hours away from the sun. Although some suggest late spring due to the sun's position at the summer solstice, this does not align with optimal viewing conditions. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere will find Orion's visibility peaks during these colder months. The discussion highlights the importance of timing in relation to the sun's right ascension for effective stargazing. Overall, winter solstice offers the most favorable conditions for observing Orion.

Homework Statement



It has a right ascension of 5.5h
Northern Hemisphere

The Attempt at a Solution



I was thinking because at the summer solist the sun is at an RA of 6h that it ment late spring would be the best.
Wikipidea says its late fall to winter.

How come?

You think the best time to observe it is when it is about half an hour away from the sun? Best time is 12 hr away from the sun... winter solstice. Late fall or winter.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
