Chapter S1, Problem 13EAP

Does It Make Sense?

Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer. (Hint: For statements that involve coordinates—such as altitude, longitude, or declination—check whether the correct coordinates are used for the situation. For example, it does not make sense to describe a location on Earth by an altitude, because altitude only describes positions of objects in the local sky.)
