Student 1: We know the Sun rises in the east and moves through the southern part of the sky and then sets in the west. Eight hours after sunrise it makes sense that the Sun will have moved from being on the eastern horizon near the constellation Cancer to being located high in the southwestern sky near the constellation Aries. Student 2: You're forgetting that some stars and constellations also move from the east through the southern sky and to the west just like the Sun. So, the Sun will still be near Cancer 8 hours later. So in Figure 5 is drawn incorrectly. It should show that the constellations have all moved like the Sun, so Cancer would also be located high in the southwestern sky, with the Sun, eight hours later. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students? Explain your reasoning. Check your answers with another group. 12) In question 11, we found that Figure 5 was drawn incorrectly. Redraw Figure 5 on the figure below by sketching the approximate location of any constellation from Figure 5 that would still be visible. South East West
