Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) Altitude angle
Explanation
A sun-path diagram maps sky directions using radial distance for solar altitude and angular position for azimuth. Concentric circles therefore join equal altitude angles, A. Date and time determine positions along the solar paths rather than this circular coordinate grid.
