a. During which two times of the year (six months apart) is the declination of the Sun changing most rapidly from one day to the next? (You may name the two months of the year when declination changes most rapidly, or name the two special days of the year around which declination changes most rapidly.)

b. During which two times (or months) of the year (six months apart) is the declination of the Sun changing most slowly?
