  2. Dual cone and polar cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_cone_and_polar_cone

    It can be seen that the polar cone is equal to the negative of the dual cone, i.e. C o = −C *. For a closed convex cone C in X , the polar cone is equivalent to the polar set for C . [ 5 ]

    The high-speed polar jet stream typically spins at a height of 5 to 9 miles above the Earth’s surface, in the lower layer of the atmosphere known as the troposphere.

  4. Polar regions of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_regions_of_Earth

    Visualization of the ice and snow covering Earth's northern and southern polar regions Northern Hemisphere permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in purple. The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are Earth's polar ice caps, the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles.

  5. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    The term "pointed" is also often used to refer to a closed cone that contains no complete line (i.e., no nontrivial subspace of the ambient vector space V, or what is called a salient cone). [29] [30] [31] The term proper (convex) cone is variously defined, depending on the context and author. It often means a cone that satisfies other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle

    Relationship of Earth's axial tilt (ε) to the tropical and polar circles. The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the centre of the Sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for twenty-four hours; as a result, at least once each year at any location within the Arctic Circle the centre of the Sun is visible at local midnight, and at least ...

  7. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    The lateral surface area of a right circular cone is = where is the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone and is the slant height of the cone. [4] The surface area of the bottom circle of a cone is the same as for any circle, . Thus, the total surface area of a right circular cone can be expressed as each of the following:
