4. a. Compute declination angle and zenith angle for solar noon on December 21st,, 2011 (winter solstice), March 21st,, 2012 (Vernal Equinox), June 21st, 2012 (summer solstice) and September 21st, 2012 (Autumnal Equinox) in Gan, Maldives (Latitude: 0.6944927°S). Remember to account for leap years (2012). b. For this latitude and days of the year (and time of day), is the sun in the southern sky, northern sky, or directly overhead? [Hint: You can answer this by comparing the latitude to the declination angle]. Is your answer generally true throughout the year? Justify your answer.

9. A solar observation is made in the afternoon and the following quantities have been determined: N14°05' = latitude of place of observation (1) 40°32' = true latitude of sun (h) N07°23' = sun's apparent declination (d) The instrument is set up at point A and mark is sighted at point B. If the measured horizontal clockwise angle from the line to the sun were recorded as follows: 222°08', 222°12', 222°09', 222°13', 222°16', and 222°20', determine the following: a. the sun's azimuth from north b. true bearing of the sun c. true bearing of line AB.
Suppose you are concerned about a tall thin tree located 10 m from a proposed PV site. You do notice that the tree casts a 1 m shadow directly toward your site at solar noon on May 22th.
