Can you tell time from position of moon?
you can frum the sun but im not sure bout the moon Thanks In my question, I was hoping that you might get even a hint of where say north is by the direction of the moons crescent or it's position. As you can tell north by the position of the sun, perhaps you can get an indication of the sun from the sun light being reflected from a half moon?
Describe the suns change of position in the sky during 1 year?
There is an exact word for this phenomenon, an analemma. This is an asymmetric figure-of-eight, somewhat skinny, and would be the shape composed if you marked the position of the sun at the same time each day throughout the year. The actual asymmetry of the figure-of-eight varies with latitude, and reverses completely by the time you travel to the other arctic (or antarctic) circle.
What did people in the olden days use to tell time?
They used the suns positions to tell the time. They used a device called a Sundail. For more information GOOGLE IT!!!!

The Solar System doesn't tell time; we tell time, based on the movement of objects in the sky. Basically the time is based on the position of the Sun in the sky.
How can I tell when two objects have the same velocity on a position graph?
If the position is graphed vs time, then the slope (rate of change of position with respect to time) will be the same (parallel).
What do you tell a person whose relative passed away?
Put yourself in their position. If you were them, what would you want someone to say to you? It is usually best just to tell them that you are truly sorry for their loss, and to tell them to come to you if there is anything you can do to help them through this difficult time.

The Incas used the sun and moons position in the sky to tell time
Why does latitude dictate how high the sun gets in the sky?
Latitude doesn't dictate how high the sun gets in the sky, but it does help us understand position and time. We can use latitude and the suns position to determine not only what day of the year it is, but where we are.
Prepositions tell us what four things?
time, position, direction and location
