Difference between Earth and Sun path

Earth vs. Sun path

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. Sun path, sometimes also called day arc, refers to the daily and seasonal arc-like path that the Sun appears to follow across the sky as the Earth rotates and orbits the Sun.

Similarities between Earth and Sun path

Earth and Sun path have 25 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antarctic Circle, Arctic Circle, Celestial sphere, Earth's orbit, Earth's rotation, Ecliptic, Equator, Equinox, Geographical pole, Latitude, Meridian (astronomy), Midnight sun, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Northern Hemisphere, Polar night, Season, Solstice, South Pole, Southern Hemisphere, Summer solstice, Sun, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropics, Winter solstice.

Antarctic Circle

The Antarctic Circle is the most southerly of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle is the most northerly of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth.

Celestial sphere

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere with an arbitrarily large radius concentric to Earth.

Earth's orbit

Earth's orbit is the trajectory along which Earth travels around the Sun.

Earth's rotation

Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis.

Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun follows over the course of a year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Equinox

An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 22-23 September.

Geographical pole

A geographical pole is either of the two points on a rotating body (planet, dwarf planet, natural satellite, sphere...etc) where its axis of rotation intersects its surface.

Latitude

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Meridian (astronomy)

In astronomy, the meridian is the great circle passing through the celestial poles, the zenith, and the nadir of an observer's location.

Midnight sun

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at the local midnight.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA; pronounced, like "Noah") is an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce that focuses on the conditions of the oceans, major waterways, and the atmosphere.

Polar night

The polar night occurs in the northernmost and southernmost regions of the Earth when the night lasts for more than 24 hours.

Season

A season is a division of the year marked by changes in weather, ecology, and amount of daylight.

Solstice

A solstice is an event occurring when the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere.

South Pole

The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is one of the two points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface.

Southern Hemisphere

The Southern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is south of the Equator.

Summer solstice

The summer solstice (or estival solstice), also known as midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun.

Tropic of Cancer

The Tropic of Cancer, also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

Tropic of Capricorn

The Tropic of Capricorn (or the Southern Tropic) is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the December (or southern) solstice.

Tropics

The tropics are a region of the Earth surrounding the Equator.

Winter solstice

The winter solstice (or hibernal solstice), also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year.
