The track of a Langevin observer L orbiting counter-clockwise at radius R = R 0, i.e. riding a counter-clockwise rotating ring, is also shown (navy blue circle). Parameters: ω = +0.2, R 0 =r 0 =1 We wish to compare the appearance of null geodesics in the cylindrical chart and the Born chart.
The poles of astronomical bodies are determined based on their axis of rotation in relation to the celestial poles of the celestial sphere. Astronomical bodies include stars, planets, dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies such as comets and minor planets (e.g., asteroids), as well as natural satellites and minor-planet moons.
To find the correct side, imagine that Archernar and Canopus are both points on the circumference of a circle. The third corner of the equilateral triangle will also be on this circle. The corner should be placed clockwise from Achernar and anticlockwise from Canopus. The third imaginary corner will be the south celestial pole.
The reason for the clockwise standard for most screws and bolts is that supination of the arm, which is used by a right-handed person to tighten a screw clockwise, is generally stronger than pronation used to loosen. Sometimes the opposite (left-handed, counterclockwise, reverse) sense of threading is used for a special reason.
A torus is an orientable surface The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface. Note how the disk flips with every loop. The Roman surface is non-orientable.. In mathematics, orientability is a property of some topological spaces such as real vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, surfaces, and more generally manifolds that allows a consistent definition of "clockwise" and "anticlockwise".

When the lag angle is non zero as in figure 1, the forces F1 and F2 combine to produce clockwise torque on body 1, because F1 is stronger. At the same time they torque the orbital motion counter clockwise: if you ignore the portion of F1 and F2 that lie along the line connecting the two bodies the remaining combined force on the entirety of ...

The galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the duration of time required for the Sun to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. [1] One galactic year is approximately 225 million Earth years. [2]
