What are the two readings that are necessary to determine longitude?
Using a compass determine the direction of south. Using a clock find out the time when the sun is south. For every hour after mid-day you are 15 degrees west of the point where the sun is south at mid-day. The clock should be set to mid-day when the sun is at longitude zero to get absolute values rather than relative values.
Is a shadow usually longer at mind-day than it is just before sunset?
Yes, a shadow is typically longer at mid-day than just before sunset. This is because the sun is directly overhead at mid-day, creating longer shadows due to the angle of the sunlight. As the sun begins to set, the angle of the sunlight changes, resulting in shorter shadows.
What time of the day is the sun hottest?
The sun is typically hottest during the early to mid-afternoon, typically between 2-4pm. This is when the sun is highest in the sky and has the most direct angle on the Earth's surface, leading to maximum heating.

When during the day are rainbows most likely to occur?

What is the difference between the position of the sun at mid day on a winters day and mid day on a summers day?
The position of the sun at midday on a winter's day is lower in the sky compared to midday on a summer's day. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun's angle to change throughout the year. In winter, the sun's lower position results in shorter days and less direct sunlight.
