Sun path [reflections] from low evening sun over Two-Tone coffee mug

AssetID: 112511737 / Kim Westerskov / Sun path [reflections] from low evening sun over distant Karewa Island and open sea. Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Sun path refers to the apparent significant seasonal-and-hourly positional changes of the sun (and length of daylight) as the Earth rotates, and orbits around the sun . The relative position of the sun is a major factor in the heat gain of buildings and in the performance of solar energy systems. Accurate location-specific knowledge of sun path and climatic conditions is essential for economic decisions about solar collector area, orientation, landscaping, summer shading, and the cost-effective use of solar trackers .
