Question

Answer all questions thoroughly. Always explain your reasoning Give two differences between the path of the Sun through the sky at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester. How do these differences cause the different weather that we see at these two times of year? 1. Where do we find stars that are in the sky for less than 12 hours? Where do we find stars that are in the sky for more than 12 hours? 2. 3. Minneapolis is at 45 N (latitude) and 93* W (longitude). What does this tell you about the right ascension and declination of a star that is seen at the zenith? 4. If we follow the tail of the big dipper, it will take us to what bright star? (Arc to You find that two stars are separated by about one fist width when you hold them (your fingers) at arm's length. What is the angular separation between these stars?

Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION:-The earth tilts on its axis relative to the plane of the ecliptic. It always tilts in the same relative direction. As it orbits the sun that means that sometimes the southern and some times the northern hemisphere is presented more directly to Sol. That makes the Sun's apparent track across the sky shift with the seasons. The arc of the sunlight around the sky gets longer and reaches a extra physically powerful altitude in the summertime. in the wintry climate, the arc is shorter, and the sunlight reaches a decrease altitude in the sky. the optimal factor of the sunlight in the sky is on the summer time solstice. the backside factor is on the wintry climate solstice.

In terms of semester, take example as your semester starting in January and end in June-July. so at the beginning sun light reaches at decreased altitude in the sky and when semester tend to get over it will take greater altitude to cover the sky.
