Direction What Direction Is A Planet When It Is Highest In The Sky?

What direction is a planet when it is highest in the sky? - direction

A question of responsibility, I do not see any help would be great. During the night, stands a planet above the horizon across the sky and put it under a
Horizon. In what direction should consider the observation of the planet, if it is higher in
Heaven? This would be an observer in the eyes of the southern hemisphere in the same direction?

If the planet is on the meridian. The meridian is an imaginary line between the head through the north (Zenit) in the south. The Sun transits the meridian at noon standard time.

If you are in the northern hemisphere would be facing south. If you are in the southern hemisphere would be due north.

Do not get too technical here, but I always tell my nephew, who is "out there".

wrong answer. For example, an observer of Ecuador in the northern sky, the sun is at noon of the spring equinox in March and September equinoxes, and in the southern sky at noon from the September equinox, day and Equinox Mars. Likewise, the moon and the planets in the sky over north and south can be seen by an observer in Ecuador, according to other factors. An observer of 1 degree north, technically in the Northern Hemisphere is more or less the same as observed in Ecuador, show poor response times of Malcolm.

Depends most of the planets eccleptic on the way, which is about the level of the solar system. So if you are in the northern hemisphere to the south and vice versa in the southern hemisphere, provided they are visible when you try to observe. If you are in the axis, which is recorded live eccleptic in the world, you are directly over its peak.
