The image below represents the Sun on January 1 seen from North America. The letters represent the directions (east, south, and west). What time of day could it be?

Answer 1

3:35pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

From the image, we are able to see that the sun is not directly overhead, which means that the time is not noon.

Using the directions provided, we can see that the sun has moved past the position in noon, remembering that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Therefore, we know that the time is past noon. Finally, the sunlight is still falling on the land, which means that it is not yet night time. Out of the given options, 3:35 PM is most likely to be correct.
