From agriculture to economics, the Sun touches all parts of our lives. By far the biggest way is through its sunlight, which allows crops to grow. This webinar looks at sunlight throughout the year and how it changes based upon the way Earth's tilt, its orbit, and other factors affect the amount of sunlight we receive.

This webinar is presented by NASA HEAT and delivered by Dr. Sten Odenwald. Below you will find both the original PowerPoint slide deck assembled by Dr. Odenwald and a PDF version of those slides.
