Now I know the sun rises in different places as the year progresses; however, I'm not sure how much the position of its rise is supposed to change. 2 weeks ago is was rising behind a tree (I know because the sun wakes me up every morning at roughly the same time) and was hidden from view by the leaves. This tree is huge and the leaves make it hard to see. However, now it is rising 3-4 sun diameters away making the sun easily visible and unobscured. Does the sun normally move this much in its rise within 2 weeks? I've never noticed before now... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68667382 This is what you need to find where the Sun should be [link to www.pveducation.org] The point it rises at moves least on June 21 and December 21 and most around March 20 and September 22. |
