Would a person at each of the points a b c see the sun if so where would the sun be in the sky?
To determine if a person at points a, b, and c would see the sun, we need to consider their locations and the time of day. If the sun is above the horizon at that time, a person at point a may see it in the east during sunrise, at point b directly overhead during midday, and at point c in the west during sunset. However, if any of these points are obstructed by mountains or buildings, visibility could be affected.
