What Direction Is Full Sun

The sun travels East to West along a curved path that swings South. During the winter, the sun appears lower in the sky, but south-facing windows still get plenty of direct light.

What direction has full sun?

Because the sun always crosses the sky south of directly overhead, the southern exposure gets sun most of the day and is considered full sun. The western exposure, like the eastern exposure, receives several hours of direct sun.

Is north-facing considered full sun?

The exterior wall of a house facing due north receives no direct sun at all in winter, but full sun in summer.
