The minimum declination of the sun is zero on 22nd September D. the maximum declination of the sun is about $$23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$$ S on 21st December E. All the above

Question

The sun's right ascension increases for 0 h to 24 h when it returns to the First point of Aries

The maximum declination of the sun increases up to $$23{rac{1}{2}^ circ }$$ N on about 21st June

The minimum declination of the sun is zero on 22nd September

the maximum declination of the sun is about $$23{rac{1}{2}^ circ }$$ S on 21st December E. All the above

The correct answer is: E. All the above

The sun’s right ascension increases for 0 h to 24 h when it returns to the First point of Aries. This is because the sun’s right ascension is measured in hours, and it takes the sun 24 hours to complete one orbit around the Earth. The maximum declination of the sun increases up to $23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$$ N on about 21st June. This is because the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of $23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$ to the plane of its orbit around the sun. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the sun’s declination is at its maximum value in the Northern Hemisphere. The minimum declination of the sun is zero on 22nd September. This is because the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of $23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$ to the plane of its orbit around the sun. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, the sun’s declination is at its minimum value in the Northern Hemisphere. The maximum declination of the sun is about $23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$$ S on 21st December. This is because the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of $23{\frac{1}{2}^ \circ }$ to the plane of its orbit around the sun. When the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the sun’s declination is at its maximum value in the Southern Hemisphere.
