celestial objects give off. In this laboratory I learned how to measure the altitudes of stars using a quadrant. A quadrant is a quarter of a circle that has been divided into 90 degrees. I also learned how to find the angular diameters of the Sun and Venus. We used the calibration bar to find the scale of the ruler; image scale calibration is a task astronomers perform routinely. To find the scale you divide the bar length in degrees by the bar length in ruler units.

Diamonds are minerals; it is the hardest known substance. Wood is not a mineral
