Political Factoid
Politicians are expected
to push to rule sundials
illegal and must be
destroyed because
sundials display a truth
that is unexceptable*
(to far-right conservatives).
| * |
Sundials indicate "solar noon"
being when the sun is at the zenith.
y is the path of the sundial's shadow,
where φ is the shadow's latitude, and δ the
declination of the Sun on a given day.
|
Solar noon, also known as the
local apparent solar noon and
Sun transit time (informally
high noon), is the moment
when the Sun contacts the
observer's meridian (culmination
or meridian transit), reaching
its highest position above the
horizon on that day and casting
the shortest shadow.]
