Base your answers to questions 40 through 42 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The diagram represents
the apparent path of the Sun across the sky at a New York State location on June 21. Point A represents the position of the noon Sun. Points A and B on the path are 45 degrees apart. How many hours (h) will it take for the apparent position of the Sun to change from point A to point B?
(1) 1 h
(2) 2 h
(3) 3 h
(4) 4 h
After doing a lot of research on the answers to questions 40-42 on the Regents exam and studying the map you posted, the answer can be easily figured out.
It will take approximately 3 hours for the apparent position of the sun to change from point A on the map to point B on the map.
The correct answer choice will be number 3, 3 hours.
