    a. As sun peeks, it creates a straight line - sun to tree to shadow, angle=180°

    b. During morning, the sun-tree-shadow changes from 180° to 90°, during noon, angle = 90°. During sunset the angle changes from 90 to 0°.

    c. Acute angles created in afternoon.

    d. A right angle would be created at noon.

    e. Obtuse angle would be created in morning.

    f. Yes, a straight angle would be created at sunrise.

    g. When sun is at mid-morning, the angle=45°+90° = 135°
