Description: If you could see both the Sun and the other stars during the day, this is what the sky would look like looking south at noon on January 1 for an observer in the northern hemisphere. The Sun would appear in the sky next to the more distant stars in the constellation Sagittarius, (labeled constellation C). Also shown are other constellations (named and labeled A, B, D, and E) that will be visible above the horizon at this time when facing south.

Ranking #4: Starting with how the sky would appear at sunrise (6am), list the constellations in order that
the Sun will appear next to each constellation (if at all) over the next several hours until sunset (6pm). For
simplicity, refer to the constellations by letter. Or, indicate in the discussion if the Sun will appear next to
the same constellation from sunrise to sunset. Then, carefully explain your reasoning for ranking the
constellations this way.
