Answer to Question 1

A passive tracker loses an hour or so in the morning, while it resets from the previous day. An active tracker does not lose this time.

Answer to Question 2

The latitude determines the sun's path; at the equator, the collector will ideally be horizontal when the sun is at the equinox. At latitudes further from the equator, the angle must be tilted to orient the collector toward the sun.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
