Document Summary
On november 5, 2013, i observed the sunset from the twelfth floor of the dubois library. My observations took place between the hours of 3:39pm and 5:09pm. I took several pictures of the sunset at various times: an hour before sunset, half an hour before sunset, at the time of the sunset, and half an hour after the sunset. The sky was mostly clear with a few clouds. The clouds did not affect my earlier pictures as much as the pictures that i took at and after the sunset. Once the sun began to set behind the clouds, the clouds partially obstructed my view of the sunset. An hour before the sunset, the sun"s altitude was 8 degrees and the azimuth was 240 degrees. A half an hour before the sunset, the sun"s altitude was 4 degrees and the azimuth was 245 degrees. At sunset, the altitude was 0 degrees and the azimuth was 250 degrees.
