Determining the Sun Trajectory
On January 27, 2014 I took down calculations of where the suns shadow fell, the length of it, and the height of the instrument I used to measure it. In this lab I learned exactly where the sun would fall at a certain time of day and how big of a shadow it can make at different times. I have created both a table and took a screen shot of the sun at 12 using SunCalc.net.
