Question #1: If Figure 1 shows the position of the earth on February 13, draw, as accurately as possible, the position of the earth on April 13, two months later. Earth orbits the sun in the same direction that it rotates on its axis. The angular distance traveled by the earth can be computed. Earth travels 360 degrees (a complete circle) in one year, so that in 19 days it travels 2 x360 = 18.7 z 19 Degrees 365 From this, we can see the earth travels approximately one degree per day.
