Sun Trajectory Assignment

For this assignment we were told to track the sun as it appears in the sky for an entire day. The day for which I chose to draw the sun in the sky from sunrise to sunset was on October 31, 2012. The sun rose in the eastern horizon at approximately 7:51AM, the sun then set in the western hemisphere at 6:43PM. I was able to measure the sun moving throughout the sky at the hours of 8AM, 12PM, 3PM, 5PM while making my final observation at sunset. The average temperature for this day was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However the temperature varied by the hour: 
8AM: Temp- 42 Pressure- 29.90 Humidity- 65%
12PM: Temp- 60 Pressure- 29.93 Humidity- 31%
3PM: Temp- 69 Pressure- 29.85 Humidity- 22%
5PM: Temp- 69 Pressure- 29.84 Humidity- 24%
6:43PM: Temp- 62 Pressure-29.85 Humidity-37%
