Hint2 : There is a Name for this day of the year.
Even if you don't know the correct date ...this
name will be accepted as an answer.
Winter solstice?
has this something to do with where havana is positioned, the sun is in zenit and it's 12:00 which has happened only once?
Parksie missed it by the skin of his teeth.
Kedaman got something...develop it..
BTW kedaman this happens every year..
hmm, maybe i happened to find that particulary cool hint but i don't know how to continue
i might have fallen asleep during that particular geography lesson
Anyone here...Try this.
Summer Solstice(June 21)?
Solar eclipse?
Dennis is right !!!
But he has to explain the rationale behind it..
Equinox?
It's when the sun is at it's northernmost point.
Hey dennis. come on be more detailed...every body will kill me if I agree with your explanation.
That's just a risk I'll have to take :D
yeah.. i will explain...
Havana lies in the Tropic of Cancer (24.5 degrees north latitude).... The sun migrates virtually between the two tropics (Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn) every year.. the Norhtern most position is at tropic of cancer.. havana lies there.. so it has to be the Summer Solistice..
Will that do?
Tropic of Cancer is at 23.5 Degrees North.
Havana is not exactly on it...But slightly south.
But still at 12:00 Noon the sun is near the zenith.
the shadows cast will not be at an angle to
the objects.
Actually solstice can occur at Summer and at winter relative to Northern Hemisphere.
Since havana is in Northern Hemisphere and it's Tropic of cancer and Not the Tropic of Capricorn...Parksie
is wrong...But He was the first one to be closer to the
answer.
i think i remember something though
damn i'm slow
The Wires between the posts sagging due to thermal expansion is a clue that it's summer.
Damn...how parksie missed it completely ?
It's bloody freezing over here and the wires look like they do in the photo, so it was impossible to tell.
how would that look at summer then?
Surprisingly, not much different. They only sag a little more.
right, but what if you get 233088 K at summer and 0K at winter
Then the Earth would have fractured from the temperature differential between the hemispheres :p
Yeh...We can Generate Power using seibeck effect. ;)
well, doesn't show in the picture though
