Apparent Motion of the Sun

You are all probably aware that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west due to the earth's rotation. What you may not have noticed is that the exact location at which it rises and sets, and the path that the sun follows through the sky changes throughout the year. In this section of the lab, you will observationally investigate the nature of these changes.
