How does the changing position of the sun on the ecliptic affect our view of the sun in our local sky at different locations on earth
A. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun is lower in the sky in December than it is in June.
B. In the Northern Hemisphere, the length of the day is shorter in December than it is in June.
C. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun is lower in the sky in December than it is in June.
D. At latitudes near the equator, the difference in the Sun’s illumination throughout the year is more extreme.
E. The Sun always rises directly east and sets directly west.
F. At latitudes closer to the poles, the difference in the Sun’s illumination throughout the year is more extreme.

Carburizing iron is a process to increase its strength by diffusing carbon into the metal. If the process carried out at 500ºC, estimate the mass diffusion rate into the iron when the carbon concentration is 2.3% (by volume) at a depth of 2 mm. Assume that the iron is face-centered cubic (FCC) and the carbon concentration at the surface is 100%.
