Answer:
The position of the Sun in the sky is a function of both the time and the geographic location of observation on Earth's surface. As Earth orbits the Sun over the course of a year, the Sun appears to move with respect to the fixed stars on the celestial sphere, along a circular path called the ecliptic.
The Sun as seen from Lamlash, Scotland (55°31′47.43″N 5°5′59.77″W) on 3 January 2010, at 8:53 a.m. local time
Earth's rotation about its axis causes diurnal motion, so that the Sun appears to move across the sky in a Sun path that depends on the observer's geographic latitude. The time when the Sun transits the observer's meridian depends on the geographic longitude.
To find the Sun's position for a given location at a given time, one may therefore proceed in three steps as follows:
calculate the Sun's position in the ecliptic coordinate system,
convert to the equatorial coordinate system, and
convert to the horizontal coordinate system, for the observer's local time and location.
This calculation is useful in astronomy, navigation, surveying, meteorology, climatology, solar energy, and sundial design .
