Re: making a spherical mirror
If I remember correctly, having a ray come in parallel reflects it toward the focal point. Having a ray come in through the focal point makes it reflect parallel. The sun is sufficiently far away for us to consider all of the rays to be coming in parallel (or at least enough of it is for the system to do its job).
