    Answer:

    Rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis perpendicular to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction.

    Explanation:

    Polarization involves constraining a transverse wave e.g light waves to vibrate in one phase only. Since unpolarized light vibrates in all direction during propagation. Polarization can be achieved by a polaroid.

    A polaroid is a material the make transverse waves to vibrate in one direction after passing through it. It has various applications in sun glasses, wind shield of a car etc.

    If the slit of the polaroid is perpendicular to the polarized light from a particular direction in the sky, there would be no propagation of the light. But when it is parallel to the polarized light from the direction, the light would propagate through the polaroid.
