  • Different factors affect the position of the Sun on its daily path across the sky

Step-by-step explanation:

Different factors affect the position of the Sun on its daily path across the sky. Earth rotates on a tilted axis and orbits the Sun in a slightly oval-shaped, or elliptical, path. These two motions affect the Sun's changing position in the sky and the times of daily sunrises and sunsets over a year.
