Model of Motion of Sun
Treschman, Keith
Teaching Science, v68 n2 p43-45 Jun 2022
The topic of the seasons is covered in both primary and secondary schools in Australia. It may be difficult for some students to comprehend how the Sun alters its position throughout the year. This article shows how to calculate the changing rising and setting positions of the Sun for one's locality and the extremes of its elevation near noon over a year. A model to show these changes may be constructed.
