🔍 Key Concepts

• Sun's declination changes through the year as it moves between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn • Key dates: vernal equinox (around March 21), summer solstice (around June 21), autumnal equinox (around September 23), winter solstice (around December 21) • In which direction (north or south) the Sun appears to move in the sky after the autumnal equinox

💭 Think About

• What is the Sun’s declination on the equator at the equinoxes, and is it considered north or south then? • After late September, is the Sun moving toward the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere? How does that affect whether declination is increasing or decreasing? • Think about where the Sun needs to be by December (near which Tropic) and whether it has to move northward or southward in October to get there.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the Sun is north or south of the equator during October • Decide whether its declination value is moving toward zero or away from zero during this period • Relate October’s motion to the known positions at the autumnal equinox (~23 Sep) and winter solstice (~21 Dec)
