There are different types of sun trackers, but they all work on the same principle:
* Passive Sun Trackers: These trackers use the sun's heat to move a panel or mirror to follow the sun. This is often seen in solar panels.
* Active Sun Trackers: These trackers use sensors to detect the sun's position and then move the panel or mirror accordingly. This type of tracker is often more accurate and can be used in a wider range of applications.
Some common examples of sun trackers include:
* Solar panels used for generating electricity.
* Solar concentrators used for heating water or generating electricity.
* Telescopes used for observing the sun.
Note: A sundial is not a sun tracker. While it uses the sun's position to tell time, it doesn't actively move to track the sun.
