See how the Sun moves across the sky. Use and latitude between -90
and 90, and look in the different directions. The views in the various
directions is limited to 60 degrees above the horizon, so for some latitude-day
combinations, nothing will show up, even though there is stuff visible in that
direction.
This simulation also offers the chance to view the zenith - which will draw all of the visible sky. Remember, when looking up, East and West are reversed from the view you see on maps. This concept could be confusing to young students. |
