tell me example sentences with this noun set used tell me example sentences with the noun set "a position of the Sun" used. Is there any sentence where the noun set is correctly used following the grammer rule? Or First of all, the noun set "a position of the Sun" doesn't follow the grammer rule and it sounds just weird? Thank you!

positions/the positions/the definite article I came across these sentences on BBC. I know it should be "the positions" because it was written by a native English speaker but I just wonder why it's not just "positions" but "the positions". What follows after it isn't specific but just general celestial bodies or any celestial body so what made the author use "the positions"? thank you! ****** Things were trickiest over large bodies of water. With no radio beacons at all, pilots used dead reckoning, a navigational technique that uses the last known location to estimate the current location; and celestial navigation, which references 【the positions】of celestial bodies like the sun, moon or a planet, as they measure up with the visible horizon. Until the second half of the 20th Century, the flight crew on trans-oceanic flights often included what was known as a flight navigator, who relieved the pilot of the considerable burden of navigation. ******

beatings/the beatings I came across these sentenses in NY Times and I just wonder why the author didn't put a "the" before "beatings of camels and animals". In such a case, I thought we usually needed a "the". ❶what's the reason why the definate article isn't nesessary there? ❷how different does the part "beating of camels and animals" mean from "the beating of camels and animals", which is another option I came up with? ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ In outraged posts on Facebook or in emails to Egyptian animal rights groups, they have described collapsing horses, sickly camels and emaciated mules. A bustling camel market outside Cairo, where tourists are charged a fee to take photos, features beatings of camels and animals with bloodied faces. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Thank you!!

ate apples / ate the apples the situation: there are 30 apples in my frigide. (*quite many apples though) a listener knows the situation. but they haven't talked any about the apples, which means there isn't the case they have talked some specific apples in the apples before. what the listener would understand as when I speak two sentences below is , I guess, just the same. there is no difference. →it is understood as "I ate some apples in my frigde. (1) I ate the apples in my frigde. (2) I ate apples in my frigde. Then which should I say? Or is there actually any difference in meaning? I'd be happy even if you give me slight difference. Thank you!

【the】growling fur seals and slumbering elephant seals" I came across these sentences in bbc and wonder what "the growling fur seals and slumbering elephant seals" mean. does it mean <all> the growling fur seals and slumbering elephant seals there? I mean , I wonder if the sense of all comes along with it or not. thank you! ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ “Stay at least 200m away from the whaling station – it’s filled with asbestos and the roofs could literally blow off,” warned expedition leader Nate Small, as we stepped gingerly out of our Zodiac and into the fizzing surf at Stromness Bay, South Georgia. I picked a careful route across the grey-pebble beach, eyeing warily the growling fur seals and slumbering elephant seals, their gargantuan bodies emitting a series of burps, bellows and rumbling bass notes. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

the apples / apples / all the apples the situation: there are 5 apples on a table in my room. a listener knows the situation. but they haven't talked any about the apples, which means there isn't the case they have talked some specific apples in the apples before. as what would the listener understand when I speak three sentences below? (1) I ate the apples on my table. (2) I ate all the apples on my table. (3) I ate apples on my table. ★his understanding about (1) is:the speaker ate [all] the apples on his table and he less emphasized the sense of "all" in it than (2) ★his understanding about (2)is:the speaker ate all the apples on his table and literally he emphasized the sense of "all". ★his understanding about (3) is : the speaker ate some (2〜4)apples on his table. he didn't know yet how many of them were eaten but no doubt that maltiple apples less than 5(all) were eaten. are these correct? there are maybe other grammer mistakes since it's a set of my original sentences.

The lives or lives I believe that the author wanted to mean that it doesn’t reflect the typical live of a local there. Which is better to mean the same? Whichever is fine?It depends on each speaker? 1 Paris was one of three cities atop the EIU's list – but the ranking might not reflect “the lives” of the locals. ※this is the original sentence in bbc 2 Paris was one of three cities atop the EIU's list – but the ranking might not reflect “lives of the locals”. Thank you!

The photos or photos/the article I came across these sentences in BBC to wonder if "the photos" or "photos" is right at that position. I have posted the same kind of question here on italki and learned that they would mean just the same. So ,again, this time "People have thought the photos I took in the ‘chapels’ were actually modern artwork." and "People have thought photos I took in the ‘chapels’ were actually modern artwork." mean just same. Or is there any slight difference? ( I just guess that the first one sounds like the speaker is talking about all the photos that he took and the second one sounds like he is talking about some photos that he took.this would be something I just feel, which means I've understood it wrong for a while.) ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ People have thought the photos I took in the ‘chapels’ were actually modern artwork. When I told them that these were marble caves, they were astounded!” said Chelsea Dietsche, an American visitor based in Chile. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

the relative pronoun/the article ❶Today I met a girl who I met at a coffee shop a week ago. ❷Today I met the girl who I met at a coffee shop a week ago. The difference is if it's the definate article or the indefinite article before "girl". it sounds like ❶ is more correct to me. Which should I say ❶ or ❷？ Or it depends on if I introduce the girl to listeners for the first time or not? Thank you!!
