ATDP Astronomy 2174
Sunset Laboratory Exercise
This sunset lab is an observational exercise for ATDP Astronomy 2174. We were to observe the sunset over a period of about one month. We were to choose a place where the view of the sun was relatively unobstructed and observe from that site exclusively. We had to note the time of sunset, the position of the sunset on the horizon, weather conditions, and anything else we deemed relevant. The next few pages of this website are dedicated to reporting my results for this sunset laboratory exercise.
