Q. Elena, a PhD student at the Department of Astrophysics in a well-known university in Scotland, was tracking the apparent motion of the Sun for her experiments. On one weekend, she went to meet her non-university friends. They were making fun of her saying that she was very absent-minded and didn't pay much attention to things around her. To prove their point, they asked her what season they were currently in? Just like her friends had expected, she wasn't quick to answer. But she remembered from her experimental observations that in the previous season, the apparent motion of the Sun was from the Equator to Tropic of Cancer and she was correctly able to predict the current season.
