what causes the motion of the sun throughout the day
Sun path Sun paths at any latitude and any time of the year can be determined from basic geometry.[4] The Earth's axis of rotation tilts about 23.5 degrees, relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun, this creates the 47Â° declination difference between the solstice sun paths, as well as the hemisphere-specific difference between summer and winter.
