Activity 1: Watch the Sunset

Procedures:

1. Choose a nice spot from which you can watch a sunset (well call this point A)

Ideally, you’d have a clear horizon in front of you, and behind you would be

some sort of elevated point that you can quickly access (a hill, a building with

at least two floors, or perhaps the aforementioned tree, we’ll call this point B.

2. Watch the sunset from point A, and once the sun is out of sight, proceed to

point B. With the added elevation provided by point B, you should be able to

see the sun above the horizon.

a. From the activity, if the Earth is flat what will happen to the sun once it had

set?

b. If the Earth is round what will happen to the sun once it had set?​
