as sun rotates,it is higher in the sky in the morning
as the earth rotates,the sun is higher in the sky in the morning
as sun rotates,it is lower in the sky in the morning
as earth rotates,the sun is lower in the sky in the morning
The apparent position of the sun in the sky changes because the Earth rotates on its axis. In the morning, the sun appears lower in the sky, which creates longer shadows, and as the Earth rotates, the sun appears higher later in the day, creating shorter shadows. The sun does not rotate around the Earth; the Earth's rotation causes the sun's apparent movement.
