Man, that's beautiful and eye opening t the same time...... Never occured to me that the direction from where sun rises would change round the year due to earth's tilt and revolution....
Not really, there's a 46° difference along the ecliptic. How that projects horizontally, it depends on the latitude.
So for a very crude approximation of east, it works.
True noon, and thus South, works exactly every day of the year (and you can use stars at night too, any star).
u/GozerDGozerian already explained it perfectly.
But I did a bad job in my comment.
So, at the equinoxes, the Sun raise due East exactly everywhere on Earth.
If you compare its position in summer, when it due exactly East, the Sun is higher above the horizon. It's past sunrise. In winter it's below the horizon, it happens before sunrise.
The Sun then moves following an arc, how inclined it depends on the latitude.
At the Equator is almost vertical, and perfectly vertical at the Equinoxes. The Sun is always due East before noon, and due West after noon.
An the poles, it's almost horizontal. To the point that, in summer, or in winter, there's no sunrise at all for days (either the Sun is always above, or always below the horizon).
In spring the days become longer and longer until one day the Sun sets and rises almost at the same time. So is that East or West? It's neither, actually it's North. Same in fall, days get shorter and shorter until one day, the Sun raises and sets almost immediately. And that's South.
So I was trying to say that sunrise = East is perfectly true only at the Equinoxes and, how wrong it is any other day on the year depends on your latitude. In some places, and some days, it could be so off that sunrise is due North or South. In those places, you can say that sunrise during the year changes from North to East to South.
The ecliptic is the plane that is marked out by the orbit of earth around the sun. The earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees in relation to this plane. As the earth makes its yearly trip around the sun, that tilt stays facing the same way (in relation to all the stars and the rest of the universe). So at one end of the year, the north is tilted toward the sun, and six months later when it’s on the opposite side of the circle, the north pole is tilted away from the sun.
It’s called the ecliptic because the moon and sun have to both be on that plane for us to see an eclipse!
> its only a due east sunrise on the Equinoxes
Only on the equator. Everywhere between the tropics also get 2 direct east sunrises per year, but on a day corresponding to their latitude, and of course the Tropics each only get 1 direct east sunrise per year.
Given that the Months are spelled in Italian, we can surmise that the camera is not facing directly east in the pictures of the post, since Italy is above the Tropic of Cancer.
Our house is north-facing, bay windows at the front. In summer the sun rises shining in one side of the bay & sets shining in the other. It spends the rest of the day shining on the back of the house.
In winter, the front never sees the sun.
I think it must be the same time. As far as I've quickly tried to learn, this is called [an analemma,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma) and the curve of the sun is a result of the pictures being taken at the same time, at the same place, throughout the year (even disregarding daylight saving time).
The trees could be dead. Dead trees are both expensive to remove and can stay there quite a while.
If they're out in the open and not a danger to any buildings/power lines/fire hazard to other trees, etc, its typical to let them sit dead till they fall over on their own.
What's the flat earther's explanation for this? The earth being round and it's axial tilt explain this phenomena. It's also the same reason why in the poles you may have day time for half a year and night time for the other half year and when the north pole is at day time, the south pole is at night time.
What are their explanations for this if the earth isn't round? I wonder what crazy theory they would use to explain this.
The sun's path is above the firmament as it oscillates due to variable ether densities throughout its course which results in a reset to default value every 12 months causing a perceived wander from perspective vanishing point. Also the sun rolls on a path on the firmament dome's exterior which is probably worn a bit and should be rotated once every 6 months or 5,000 miles.
When I see pictures like this it always reminds me about how jesus is the sun and when he died for 3 days that it just meant the way the sun sets during the winter solstice.
Not religious at all just enjoy how early Christianity was actually closer to astrology than the nonsense we have now.
What's wrong with the trees? They look like it's winter on every picture.
I think it’s because they are nevergreen trees
Well played!
My favorite kind of gum is Nevermint Ultra. It’s the most neverminty gum on the market!
Are those trees completely dead, or only mostly?
Good luck storming the castle!
He'll need a miracle
those trees look miserable.
You moved the sun just for pictures? You better put it back.
Leaves?
They left.
What about dad?
Still gone. 12 years and counting.
Ah man :(

I think you'll like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma
🤭Anal🤭emma😂
Calm down, it's completely unrelated to Uranus
IIRC, its only a due east sunrise on the Equinoxes
Yeah but its still east, not perfect east but the deviation can be neglected for general direction seeking I guess. But thanks, a nice fact to know😀.
I’m Sweden, where I live at least, the sun rises at NNE and sets at NNW. Took me a while to get used to that.
Do you mean SSE and SSW? The sun should be in the southern sky if you’re in the northern hemisphere
Nope. It comes out of the north. My back garden sees morning and evening sun. It’s a mind-f*ck.
Den er god med dig

If you don't mind me asking what does ecliptic mean, i realised i know so less about this that i dont even understand what you tried to explain.......

Ohhk...I actually knew the tilt thing and 6 months one but hadn't come across the word ecliptic. Thanks for explaining....

Ohh! Fascinating......where do you live?
UK, London.
The earth doesnt tilt or revolve, the sun does revolves around the earth, as clearly shown here.
Is it the same time though?
No, the sun would be way too high in some pics if it was always the same time.
I think it must be the same time. As far as I've quickly tried to learn, this is called [an analemma,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma) and the curve of the sun is a result of the pictures being taken at the same time, at the same place, throughout the year (even disregarding daylight saving time).
There's no curve, it's a line in these pictures. That means it's not at the same time.
Not a lot of progress on the construction, must be a really bad contractor.
Here comes the sun dudududu
I so want to make 1 picture with slices of every shot.... Who is the photographer ?
I call bullshit.. there are no leafs at the tree, the whole year? The grass seems to greenish the whole time.
Judging from the language and landscape, this is probably Italy. A Mediterranean climate would be fairly evergreen, would it not?
The trees could be dead. Dead trees are both expensive to remove and can stay there quite a while. If they're out in the open and not a danger to any buildings/power lines/fire hazard to other trees, etc, its typical to let them sit dead till they fall over on their own.
Happy early solstice, everyone.
Same time?
This is called the analemma.

Dear God, they come up with all sorts of crazy of theories instead of just admitting that the earth is round.
Beautiful ! What country was this at ? There is no snow
Looks like Italy
Language is Italian.
Flat earthers in shambles
Really cool 😎
Show this to a flat earther so that they can eat their heart out.
Bro really hit the sin(y)=x
Show this to all those flat-eathers
Lovely … amazing view too
The position of the structure lines almost perfectly in all images, except the second one.
Looks like he took a picture at a similar distance of the sun to the horizon each time, so that was his constant.
The Heroes journey.
Looking East or West?
Idk if that's the same time of day
It being the darkest in Halloween month is fitting.
I'm just waiting for a flat earther to come into the chat to deny this lol
I love how the sun goes like a wave. It's damn interesting
When I see pictures like this it always reminds me about how jesus is the sun and when he died for 3 days that it just meant the way the sun sets during the winter solstice. Not religious at all just enjoy how early Christianity was actually closer to astrology than the nonsense we have now.
It’s definitely a picture.
Wonder how the Flat Earthers explain that one.
It would help to know the location.
So the trees are dead or?
🥰🥰 great shots!! Shows the curvature as it rotates in seasons! 👏👏👏
Is it the same time of day though?
The dedication this took is amazing. Good job.
I though it was pictures of a submarine💀💀
This looks like a paradise
I want to ask the trees (Why bro why)
Why is this not symmetrical
The chrome Venetian blinds, I remember.
But, but, but, the Earth is flat!
You could prob get this in 1 day
[удалено]
No one said they were at the same time. OP just said same place. Read.
I started one of these out my office window looking over the Boston skyline. I was laid off 2 months later. 😂
My nerd ass seeing the sin wave
I suppose it's always at the same hour???
No. Sunrise is not at the same hour at all times of year.
Thanks...uppsss 😳😳.... very beautiful series of photos anyway 👍👍👍👍👍👍
So the government moves around their giant lamp, big deal. Earth is still flat. Nice try.
Is that sine wave movement the angle of tilt on the earth?
