Question

LAB 7. Where is 8. What CHAPTER 26-SKILL SHEET 1: LOADS OF LUNACY · Procedure Since earth has a normal tilt of 23.5 degrees, we can use that standard to help us calculate the angle of the sun through the seasons for our location (New York). Step 1: Using your ESRT, find the approximate latitude of your present location (Center Moriches) Step 2: The Maximum angle of Insolation that can be received anywhere on earth is 90 degrees (think right angle). In the space below, minus this number from your latitude: Maximum angle of Insolation -Your Latitude The value you calculated is the maximum angle of the sun at your latitude for both March 21, the first day of Spring, and September 21, the first day of Fall. For our Summer Angle of Insolation, you must add the tilt of the earth to your Spring Angle. And for your Winter Angle, you have to minus the tilt of the earth. Step 3: Write those values below: Summer Angle Winter Angle Please note: This procedure will only work for latitudes between 23.5° North to 66.50 North, and 23.5° South to 66.5o South, due to the curvature of the earth and its tilt. Sun's ras 0 Tropies Step 4: On the following page, begin by labeling your north position on the diagrams provided, which will be on the left side next to the 0 value on the protractor, with south being directly opposite. Then label your east and west positions, which will be your latitude. Step 5: Starting with the 1 Celestial Event: Spring Equinox, fill in the date when that occurs, the direction of the sun's path through the sky at that date, the sun's maximum altitude angle, and the hours of daylight Step 6: Next draw the path of the sun's movement through the sky, making intersects at the correct spot on the protractor with the angle you had calculated for that season (see Figure Step 7: Complete the foll

Google Earth was used for the image given

The pinpointed balloon is our location, i.e., Center Moriches, New York. Looking at the gridlines and following ERST, the approx latitude of the location is 42.5 degrees N

Maximum angle of insolation = 90^o is given

Maximum angle of insolation - My latitude = 90-42.5 = 47.5^o

Summer Angle = 47.5 + 23.5 =71^o

Winter Angle = 47.5 - 23.5 =24^o​​​​​​
