By how many degrees does the sunset change from day to day?

On average the sun moves about 1 degree against the background stars per day (that's about 2 full moons!).  Since the Earth is on an elliptical orbit, we actually speed up and slow down, so it changes from day to day the exact amount.  \n\nIf you mean how many degrees above or along your local horizon, you need to give me your latitude and longitude to answer that.

As the light from the sun enters the atmosphere, the atmosphere bends it a certain amount. Because the sun is closer to the horizon at sunrise and sunset, there is more atmosphere to bend the incoming light rays. Hence, the sun appears larger at sunrise and sunset because of atmospheric lensing.

The hottest part of the day will vary depending on cloud cover, latitude, daylight savings time, etc.  Just before 3PM is typically the hottest part of the day in the temperate zones.  To be more exact, the hottest part of the day is when the thermal input from the sun and cloud-ground transfer equals the thermal loss from ground albedo, just before the loss becomes greater.

at different times on the earth the sun is at different positions in the sky. When it's noon somewhere, it's midnight on the direct opposite side of the earth. If a particular time was called 12 noon to everyone it would seem silly to the people where it was midnight.

Yes, in mid-summer, the farther north you are, the greater number of sunlight hourse you get-At the north pole you get sun 24 hrs a day.  But, though you get more hours of sunlight, the sunlight is not as direct, so is not as intense.  But if you are just talking about hours when the sun is up, then the most northerly part of the island would get the most (All but a few times I've been to England, it's been overcast, though..)

If you're driving at about 1,000 mph, then yes.  That is the approximate speed at which the Earth turns, so you would have to match that speed to keep up with the sunset.

Blue on a clear day.\nWhite if it is cloudy.\nRed on a cloudy sunset.\nBlack at night.

There is a common misconception that winter happens when earth is farthest from the sun.  Actually, earth's orbit is only slightly elliptical.  Temperatures vary because of the inclination of the earth.\n\nThe hours of daylight and darkness are not related to earth's orbit.  The hours change because the earth rotates about the north pole - south pole axis and this axis is tilted relative to the sun.  Check the link in sources for all the details!

depends....it always changes.......seeing how the Earth's tilt on its axis changes the distance and the amount of direct and indirect rays from the Sun. You should research it on google or yahoo.

The sun actually doesn`t change position, it`s the tilt of the earth that makes it look like it is changing position. When the earth is tilted towards the sun we get more daylight hours (summer), when the earth is tilted away from the sun we get less daylight hours (winter). But we are not warmer cos we are closer to the sun, we are warmer because the angle to the sun is closer to 90 degrees in summer than in winter. If in northern hemisphere then the sun will always be at least a little to the south (even in summer).

the more north during the winter months you go from the equator, the longer the it stays dark, there is one day in a year in North Pole where it will stay dark for 24 hours, the same holds true for the southern hemisphere during its respective winter time.

The sun will be directly overhead at 12 noon.  The horizontal path the sun follows traced by its position at sunrise on different days along the horizon, well it'll be in the middle (kinda hard to see this one unless you're tracking the sun somehow, like in the movie Cast Away).  The amount of sunlight will be exactly 12 hours on the equator and will be a function of latitude for anywhere else (such as 12*cos(latitude) for anywhere else in the world).  Other than that, I can't think of anything.  Nothing grandiose happens...

What temperature graphs are you looking at?\n\nhttp://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/upper/crp.gif\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Co2-temperature-plot.svg\n\nNot exactly sinusoidal. Probably the answer to you question is just the diurnal cycle of warming during the day and cooling during the night, but you won't get any good answers unless your question is more specific.

sunset...then and now

The atmosphere modulates the amount of temperature change that can occur.  Clouds block some radiation from reaching the earth's surface during the day, and hold in heat escaping into space during night time.  The moon, lacking an atmosphere but orbiting at the same distance from the sun, experiences much larger temperature swings during the lunar day/night cycle.

Let's specify "noon" as noon for that point on the earth, and ignore local time zones which use a local average for what is called noon.\n\nThe annual change in the relative position of the Earth's axis in relationship to the sun causes the height of the sun (solar altitude) to vary in our skies. The total variation in maximum solar altitude for any location on the Earth over a one year period is 47° (2 x 23.5 = 47). For example, at 50° North maximum solar altitude varies from 63.5° on the summer solstice to 16.5° on the winter solstice (Figure 6h-9). As measured from the due south.\nSince Cadilac Mt is at 44 1/3 degrees North Latitude, the sun would be at 44.33 + 23.5 = 67.88 degrees.
