Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1LR
Summary Introduction
A pictorial representation of observed positions of the setting Sun.
Introduction:
The Sun is the ultimate source of energy. The energy that is provided by the Sun is termed as solar energy. The Sun rises and sets in two different locations along the horizon.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Pictorial Representation: Fig 1 represents the observed positions of the setting Sun.
Fig 1: The observed positions of the setting Sun.
The orientation of the axis of Earth continuously changes with respect to the Sun. This is because the Earth keeps on revolving around the Sun. The location of rising and setting of the Sun changes throughout the year.
