Re: The Sun Appears to be setting in the North West
The sun is WAY north for May, it ALWAYS reached that northern position in early August, here.
 Quoting: M*walk

I get it: You live in a parallel universe where the summer solstice of your Earth is in early August.

In this universe the summer solstice of Earth is on June 20 or 21.

 Quoting: Hydra


Glad you brought that up. On the North American continent, the Tropic of Cancer (the Farthest north the sun appears directly overhead) is S of Florida. AT NO place in the US, should the sun be directly Above you, or to the North of you. It must always be south of you and it must set South West of you, to some degree. Never to the north of a line drawn to True East-West.....Unless shit is fucked up.

So, how do ancient monuments such as Stonehenge continue to align correctly with the position of the sun at Solstice, year after year after year?

(deleted shill insult)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1080749


Perhaps, the alignments that are occurring now, and the relatively recent past are ones that the megalithic monuments were created for?

Newgrange, in Ireland, has more than one 'roofbox' - which is the opening to the outside where the sun to enters close to sunrise at the start of the winter solstice...

The additional roofboxes may not be known to the public, so, you can't quote me on that one.

We are only 29 days from summer solstice which means sun is going to the north or west for many latitudes.

Right now the sun should be setting close to 30 degrees north where you are.

And your point is?

Thinking that the sun has its most northern point in early August, or thinking that the sun sets at the same point on May 22nd and in early August is .... just stupid and uneducated and shows a severe lack of common knowledge. Is this the result of home schooling?

 Quoting: M*walk


So most people know the Sun sets furthest north at the summer solstice, that's June 20th this year and today we are only 28 days to the solstice. August the 1st is 42 days after the solstice so the sun will be setting further south throughout August than is does today. In fact after the Easter equinox, for the northern hemisphere, the Sun always sets north of the west cardinal point until the autumn equinox.

This work the same in California as it does in Germany. If it didn't, someone would complain about this, [link to www.timeanddate.com]

The generalised sunset equation is cos(s)=-tan(L)*tan(d)

where s is the azimuth of sunset measured from your local solar noon, L is your latitude and d is declination of the Sun.

A more accurate version again is

s=arccos((sin(-a)-(sin(L)*sin(d)))/(cos(L)*(cos(d)))

Where a is a factor accounting for the refraction of the atmosphere and the measurement of the upper limb of the Sun touching the horizon, roughly 2 degrees altogether. Using this and a table of declination [link to www.wsanford.com] I come about 3 degrees shy of what time and date says my sunset azimuth should be. I guess they have a more sophisticated model.

Re: The Sun Appears to be setting in the North West
Careful, don't write anything about what you have noticed different about the sun and it's different position because you will get grilled that it can't be so, no matter how long you may have lived or observed the sun in a place.

I posted on a thread a week or so back on how I notice the sun streaming through my kitchen window, which has never happened in all the years I have lived here but was told basically I was not seeing what I know to be what is happening.

Anyway my thoughts are it's not the sun that has moved, nor the earth, which I believed did happen but now my thoughts are maybe the sun has gotten bigger, perhaps it rises where it always has but the light now streches further.

So in my case the sunlight now streams in my kitchen window just after sunrise because the light coming from the sun is bigger? Because once the sun never came through this window at anytime of the day, anyway just my thought
They call me Mr Tibbs!

 Quoting: RodeHard Putawaywet

Is it?
At the most southern tip of the USA (Key West, Florida) the sun sets right now at 293° (from west it's 23° to the north). On June 20th it will set at 296.5°.


... or to the North of you. It must always be south of you and it must set South West of you, to some degree. Never to the north of a line drawn to True East-West.....Unless shit is fucked up.
 Quoting: RodeHard Putawaywet

That's the shit the Nibiru-tards come up with when they claim that the earth axis has shifted.
Even at the Tropic of Cancer the sun is supposed to set in the WNW (296°) on June 20th.
The further north you go, the further the sun sets to the north: Los Angeles 299°, Washington DC 301.5°, Seattle 306.5°, Anchorage 327°.

Move further north to the Norton Sound, Alaska. There it sets at 341° and at the Bering Strait it's 355°, just 5° from North.
And at the Arctic Circle it sets and rises exactly in the north - you ever heard of the Midnight Sun?
How can the Midnight Sun happen if the sun is not supposed to set in the north in certain parts of the world?

You see the pattern?
