Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76911371 The earth is not a ball spinning around the sun. The sun is what moves around earth. Do you not think gravitational force is proportional to the masses, and that F=ma, both being approximations that are close enough for this discussion? |

[link to www.timeanddate.com (secure)] Quoting: 42 degrees north latitude 81887851 That means that at the maximum, summer equinox (which is just about now) the sun will be 24.5 degrees higher than average. I am located at 42 degrees north latitude. I know which way is north, and if anything, the sun is slightly south of vertical at the moment. That means that on the average, the sun at noontime should be 42 degrees below vertical, about 48 degrees above the horizon. Since 24.5 < 42, it should be impossible that the sun is directly overhead. its always over head where I live at about this time.. but I have not looked this year.

Since 24.5 < 42, it should be impossible that the sun is directly overhead. Sigh. We've gone over this dozens of times with the ignorant PXers and Pole Shitters in years past. The height of the sun at solar noon on any day is: Sun Altitude at solar noon = (90°+Sun Declination) - Observer Latitude On the June solstice the sun's declination is ~+23.4° so the sun's altitude will be: 90°+23.4°-Latitude° 113.4°-Latitude° At 42° North (=+42°) that will put the maximum sun height above the horizon as: 113.4°-42° = 71.4° .

It has always been south and sometimes further south over the pool depending on the time of year swinging around a line of oak trees. I also don't recall it setting so far to the northwest outside of my front window. With pink skies till 830pm. So yeah OP, me too. I live in the south. |
