METROASPIRASIKU – In this post, a complete discussion will be made of the sun’s annual apparent motion, daily, and what are the impacts or consequences? Let’s see together.
What is the apparent annual motion of the sun?
The apparent annual motion of the sun is the apparent motion of the sun in the sky that occurs throughout the year as a result of the Earth’s rotation around the sun.
In observations from Earth, the Sun appears to rise and fall in the sky each day, and also appears to move eastward or westward over time.

However, apart from these daily and annual motions, the Sun also experiences apparent annual motions.
This motion occurs because the Earth moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit, and as the Earth moves along its orbit, the Sun’s position in the sky appears to change.
As the Earth moves, the Sun appears to move across 12 different constellations (zodiacs) from east to west, producing an annual cycle.
The apparent annual motion of the sun also influences the length of day and night in different parts of the world, and is the basis for calendars. Therefore, the movement of the Sun in the sky is very important for humans in everyday life.

In addition, the sun’s annual apparent motion is also related to seasonal phenomena that occur on Earth.
When the Sun is near the equator, sunlight penetrates the Earth’s atmosphere vertically and causes more even heating across the Earth’s surface. This causes a dry season in the tropics.
However, when the Sun is near one of the poles, the Sun’s rays will spread obliquely over the Earth’s surface, causing uneven heating and tending to be lower. This causes winter in the hemisphere in question.
