The 47th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 47 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane.It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The galactic coordinate system uses the approximate plane of the Milky Way Galaxy as its fundamental plane. The Solar System is still the center of the coordinate system, and the zero point is defined as the direction towards the Galactic Center. Galactic latitude resembles the elevation above the galactic plane and galactic longitude ...
The north supergalactic pole (SGB = 90°) lies in the constellation Hercules at galactic coordinates (l z = 47.37°, b z = +6.32°), or approximately RA = 18.9 h, Dec = +15.7°. The transformation from a triple of Cartesian supergalactic coordinates to a triple of galactic coordinates is
The elevation of the star above the horizon gives the approximate latitude of the observer. [15] In 2018 Polaris was 0.66° (39.6 arcminutes) away from the pole of rotation (1.4 times the Moon disc) and so revolves around the pole in a small circle 1.3° in diameter.
The Solar cycle, also known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, sunspot cycle, or Schwabe cycle, is a periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity measured in terms of variations in the number of observed sunspots on the Sun's surface.
