PROBLEM #1

Let's start with an easy one to get the basics down.

UNKNOWN LOCATION, MAY 21

Locate the sun at 1400 hours (2pm) and answer the following...

  1. What is the Azimuth?
  2. What is the Altitude?
  3. List three possibilities for describing the Azimuth (hint: from North, from the South and from the chart)
  4. Is this location in the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere?

The next three questions are not about the sun at 2pm...

  1. What time is sunrise?
  2. What time is sunset?
  3. From this chart, are you able to determine when Civil Twilight ends?

Civil:
Sun is between 0 and 6 degrees below the horizon
