During the winter solstice, Sun does not rise more than 16.56° above the horizon at midday, but 63.44° in summer solstice above the same horizon direction. The difference in the length of the day between summer and winter, from here to the north, begin to be striking – slightly more than 8 hours at winter.

Customer ServiceThe Earth''s latitude greatly impacts the sun''s trajectory in the sky and day length. At latitude 0° (the equator), for example, the sun consistently provides 12 hours of daylight year-round. Moving further north or south, the sun''s trajectory becomes less consistent and depends more on the part of the year. As latitude moves towards 90

Customer ServiceThe relative position of the Sun is a major factor in the heat gain of buildings and in the performance of solar energy systems. Accurate location-specific knowledge of sun path and climatic conditions is essential for economic decisions about solar collector area, orientation, landscaping, summer shading, and the cost-effective use of solar
Customer ServiceThe materials used should be bad at absorbing heat like sun – dried earth bricks and the walls should be made thick enough to resist heat. Walls of daytime living areas should be made of heat-storing materials. East and west walls should preferably be shaded. Double walls with insulation in between are a suitable solution. Use of cavity walls
Customer ServiceThe amount of heat energy received at any location on the globe is a direct effect of Sun angle on climate, as the angle at which sunlight strikes Earth varies by location, time of day, and season due to Earth''s orbit around the Sun and Earth''s rotation around its tilted axis.
Customer ServiceThe solar path angle at which the sun rises and sets is not constant; it is shaped by your geographical location and the time of year. At the equinoxes, the sun rises due east and sets due west no matter where your
Customer ServiceThe Sun is made of hydrogen and helium gases. At its core, hydrogen is fused to form helium. This nuclear reaction creates the Sun''s heat and light. That energy moves outward through the Sun''s radiative zone and convective zone. It then reaches the Sun''s visible surface and lower atmosphere, called the photosphere. Above the photosphere

Customer ServiceWhat direction does my house face? Go to the front door of your home and open the compass app. With your phone facing forward, read the direction that the compass is measuring (this should be shown in °). If the reading is between 270° and 90°, your house is north-facing. Which way should house face for sunlight? Typically a south-facing home gets

The angle at which the sun''s rays reach Earth is directly related to the intensity of sunlight at the surface. Think of the flashlight experiment in class. 1.

Customer Service"The sun naturally warms East- and West-facing homes, making them energy-efficient by reducing the need for heating in cooler months," Malhotra adds. "But in summer, the extra heat means we use more AC, leading to higher utility bills." Of course, the direction that your home faces is only one factor in its energy efficiency. If your

Customer ServiceThe azimuth angle indicates the direction of the sun in the horizontal plain from a given location. North is defined to have an azimuth of 0° and south has an azimuth of 180°. The various trajectories of the sun''s in the sky are bounded by those of the 21st day (solstice) of each month from December 21 until June 21.

Customer ServiceThe amount of heat energy received at any location on the globe is a direct effect of Sun angle on climate, as the angle at which sunlight strikes Earth varies by location, time of day, and season due to Earth''s orbit around the Sun and Earth''s rotation around its tilted axis. Seasonal change in the angle of sunlight, caused by the tilt of Earth''s axis, is the basic mechanism that results in warmer weather in summer than in winter. Change in day length is another factor (albeit lesser).

Customer ServiceOur lives revolve around the Sun. For most of us, our days start when the Sun rises and ends when it sets, and that''s about it. Not many of us may care beyond that. However, some wonder if the Sun has a direction as it moves. Which direction does the Sun rise? Sunrise happens in the east, and sunset happens in the west. This is because the
Customer ServiceWhen the sun is high in the sky, its light therefore travels through only a few miles of air before reaching our eyes. When the sun is on the horizon, however, we see its light filtered through tens of miles of air. The sun''s white light is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow, from violet and blue to orange and red. The air

Customer ServiceStand with the sunrise to your left and sunset to your right—now you’re facing true north. Due to the nature of our world and the cosmos today, the Sun will always rise from the east and set in the west from dawn to dusk.
You can use the apparent movement of the Sun and it’s position to determine direction with a basic understanding of its daily movement. At solar noon, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, it will be due south in the northern hemisphere and due north in the southern hemisphere.
On any given day, the sun moves through our sky in the same way as a star. It rises somewhere along the eastern horizon and sets somewhere in the west. If you live at a mid-northern latitude (most of North America, Europe, Asia, and northern Africa), you always see the noon sun somewhere in the southern sky.

The apparent motion of the sun can be important in designing a building, in particular in the placing of windows, which trap the sun's heat. In a hot sunny climate such as that of Texas or Arizona, it is best to have the largest windows face north, avoiding the sun.
