The answer depends on where on earth you are. In mid summer the sun has a trajectory which takes it to the highest position in the sky. In spring and autumn it is at an intermediate level whereas in the winter it is at its lowest.

Explain how the apparent movement of the sun affects the weather conditions of India in the hot season and cold season?
i need to know the same thing!
The sun casts the shortest shadow of the day at noon acorrding to what?
Apparent solar time
What is the sun directly over when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
The entire Solar System is in motion in and out of a spiral arm as it moves in orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is in motion relative to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. Relative to the Earth, however, except for a wobble caused by the gravitational effects of the planets, the Sun is stationary. The apparent motion of the Sun is created by our Earthbound vantage point as the Earth orbits the Sun while maintaining a rotational axis of 23 degrees. This 23 degree axis of rotation gives the appearance of the noon day sun moving between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn as the earth makes its year long orbit around the Sun, The noon day Sun appear to pause over the two Tropics as the motion of the Sun appears to change direction back towards the Equator. This takes place during the Summer and Winter Solstices
What is the sun's motion through our galaxy?
someone is a little left back in the middle ages. The sun does NOT move.
Do you have two winters per year on the equator?
There are no summers or winters near the equator because the temperatures vary little throughout the year. There are "dry" and "rainy" seasons, which like the summer and winter are caused by differences in solar heating as the apparent track of the Sun is to the north or south of the equator.
Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
In what direction is the apparent daily motion of the sun?
It is westwards.
What is the line that the sun traces across the celestial sphere?
The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.
In what direction is the sun's annual motion relative to the fixed stars?
The Sun's apparent motion among the stars is from West to East - just like the motion of the Moon, and the predominant motion of the planets (planets sometimes go from East to West, too - in this case they are said to be retrograde).
In witch direction does the sun rises?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is, of course, apparent motion and not true motion.
What direction does the sun rises and set?
the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. by leanne marriott x
What will happen if the sun stands still?
A:To the ancients, it seemed easy for supernatural powers to make the sun stand still for a few hours, with no adverse outcome. However the apparent motion of the sun across our sky does not mean the sun is actually moving relative to us. This apparent motion is caused by the rotation of the earth, which can not be stopped.

What does the length of shadows made by the Sun throughout the day tell you about the Suns apparent motion across the sky?
If the shadows are longer, that means the Sun is lower in the sky.
How would earth be different if it did not have the motion of revolution?
If Earth didn't revolve around the sun, there would be only one season, instead of all four. Also, the retrogrades (apparent backward motion of planets would be more dramatic because planets would pass the earth faster. One other difference would be that you wouldn't be able to tell your longitude by the sun.
Why is the sun orange when it rises but not when it sets?
The apparent colour of the sun is mainly due to the atmospheric conditions and the amount of atmosphere the sun has to shine through. When low, it is shining to a larger amount of atmosphere. Stars near the horizon can vary in apparent colour and flicker more.
What do we say when the sun goes down over the horizon?
We say that it is 'setting,' but this is apparent motion, and not true motion. The same is true for the rising and setting of the moon and fixed stars. There is another spectacular example of apparent motion that is different from true motion. Because the moon 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west, it is easy to think that it is "moving" from east to west. In fact, the moon's orbit around the earth is from west to east. The slow (monthly) orbit of the moon along with the 24-hour rotation of the earth give us the impression of the moon's apparent motion.
