First, describe what causes the Sun's apparent
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The apparent motion of the sun, caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis, changes the angle at which the direct component of light will strike the Earth. From a fixed location on Earth, the sun appears to move throughout the sky.

  • Every day, the Sun rises in the east, rides across the sky, and sets in the west. Once upon a time, people thought gods like Apollo carried the Sun on a chariot. But as it turns out, the Sun doesn’t move at all—we’re the ones doing all the moving.
  • The sun’s motion is apparent, caused entirely by the movement of the Earth. Our planet both spins on its axis and orbits the Sun. These two motions combine together to create the Sun’s apparent motion. But because the Earth’s motions aren’t as steady as we like to think, relying on the Sun’s apparent motion to keep track of time leads to all sorts of problems. For one, noon wouldn’t happen at the same time every day.
  • The sun's motion is apparent, caused entirely by the movement of the Earth. Our planet both spins on its axis and orbits the Sun. These two motions combine together to create the Sun's apparent motion.
  • The movement of the sun towards the north or south in a year is called the apparent movement of the sun. The revolution of the earth around the sun and the tilted axis of the earth are the two factors responsible for the apparent movement of the sun.
