Azimuth is poorly defined for such objects at that time). Use this plot to answer the following questions: (a) On June 21 the Sun is at a Declination of 23.5 degrees. Estimate the time of sunrise in Waterloo (e.g. how many hours before noon the Sun at Elevation = 0. (b) How long is the day in Waterloo on June 21? (c) What is the time of sunrise on September 21 when the Declination of the sun is 0? (d) On Dec 21 the Sun is at a Declination of -23.5 degrees. Estimate the time of sunrise on that date and the length of the day. 2) The figure below shows the positions of objects in the sky as seen from Waterloo in "natural" coordinates of Azimuth (0 degrees is to the North, 90 degrees is East, 180 degrees is South) and Elevation (0 degrees is the horizon and 90 degrees is directly overhead). This is just half of the sky but the other half (from Azimuth of 180 to 360 is a perfect mirror reflection of this). Note that Elevation of 0 is the position where an object rises above the horizon (the Elevation of 0 on the reflected figure shows the position at setting).
