When the magnetic bearing of the sun at noon is 185°20', the magnetic declination will be:
5°20' east
5°20' west
5°20' north
5°20' south
5°20' west
According to science, position and motion are relative terms.
As we know earth revolves around the Sun but we are on earth.
We see, Sun is changing direction from east to west in clocking direction.
So, if we keep the earth in centre the Sun will be move as-
In morning - In east
In noon - In south
In afternoon - In west
So, magnetic declination will be equal to
= T - MB
TB of sun at noon = 180°
= 180°-185°20'
= -5°20' {west}
Declination is measured from true north so, magnetic declination = 5°20' west.
