This resource reviews material from Basic Coordinates and Seasons Module and The Rotating Sky Module and adds information to put all the pieces together for a more complete description of the motions of the sun, culminating in the the Paths of the Sun Simulator. Computation of meridional altitude and stellar visibility are also introduced. Students can change the date, latitude, and speed of the orbit. Instructor resources are available including student manuals, assessment materials, and a list of the assumptions used.
This teaching module is part of a collection of digital labs for introductory astronomy. See Related Materials for links to two additional NAAP modules that complement this resource.
