Hi all,
One of my teachers and I had a chat today about the relative position of the
sun during sunrise *in summer*.
Ok, so that is not the most interesting topic on Earth... I know :-)
But it is relevant to that class, in order to study how the sun can
contribute to the temperature of a building. Unfortunately, we are in the
middle of winter and cannot wait till summer to check our guesses... and
that is where you come in.
YOU are in summer now! :-D
So... if any of you living down-under is willing to help me, I'll be most
thankful of that.
The task is quite simple: During sunrise/sunset (does not matter much),
please check the relative position of the sun in degrees, 0º being North and
rotating CW. What I intend to know is if the angle is anywhere between 90º
and 270º. Not much rigeur is required, really - an approximation may suffice.
Oh, one more thing: the farther to the South you live in, the better.
TIA,
Pedro
