Now I'm not claiming that I have read all 5 pages, but has anyone mentioned to the OP
that when the Sun circles the earth the sun has an axis that doesn't shine as much on one side as it does the other? |

Latitude matters. That’s the north south point on the globe. If you’re further north in the summer, you get more daylight than the equator. |

Boise ID is around 80 miles further west than Kalispell MT but the sun sets 10 minutes later today in Kalispell. Both Mountain TZ Boise at 9:30, Kalispell at 9:40.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The world rotates east to west and Ohio is further west than N.C. thus still gets sun when N.C. is dark. Take a ball and shine a light on it. Put a dot for N.C. and one for Ohio. Then rotate the ball and see how the Ohio dot is still in the light when the N.C. is not.

Has anyone mentioned elevation yet? Because the sunset in the valley I grew up in was long before the sunset on too of the hill behind it... That is so weird, must have been fuckin witches or something. And if you think about elevation as a factor as well as latitude and latitude, well that is just straight up devil magic or something

Actually, it was mostly a thing after the invention of reasonably accurate clocks. There were exceptions, the vikings, the polynesians, etc, but before a way to tell time, there was no out of sight of land navigation. I just bought a pocket sextant, btw. Slick and less than 30$ and doesn't need magnets. AND it came with a star chart and everything. I haven't done old school nav in over 30 years. It was fun, though. |

When I lived in Germany it would be daylight until 2200 or so. In Cold Lake Canada and Alaska it would be dusk and never get totally dark. Of course the nights are long in the winter. |

It's because the earth is round and the sun is flat. The edges don't line up perfectly. Try wrapping a sheet of paper around a basketball. It's like that.

It has nothing to do with east / west Right now the arctice is daylight 24 hrs per day and Antarctic is dark 24 hrs per day. It the norther hemisphere winter it is reversed. It is like that because the earth is tilted in relation to the sun and when on opposite sides of the orbit around the sun the sun hits opposite north / south parts of the earth. |

I was driving my son to kindergarten and thought it was time to teach him a little science. I asked did you notice the sun is always on our right side every morning on the way to school. He said “no.” Ahh, the perfect Dad moment to teach his son...”the sun rises in the East.”
Five year old son responds “Dad, everyone knows the sun doesn’t rise, the earth turns.” I said you’re right but language doesn’t always reflect reality. He continued; “here’s how it works. The earth has an orbit and it goes around the sun. Planets have orbits so they don’t bump into each other. When the earth tilts toward the sun, it’s summer and when it tilts away, it’s winter. If you have questions about this or dinosaurs, ask me.” I asked if his teacher had recent lessons on this and he said “no, it was in one of my books I read a year ago.” |

Hey, if people were a bit smarter, able to do basic arithmetic on the fly like a human, time zones would be unnecessary. But they aren't, because stupid people breed faster, so we have to put retarded systems in place to get past that. Look up some maps. See any correlation between median intelligence and proximity to the equator? Ever notice the useless homeless like warm climates? |
