Shortest day of year
|
|
| Matt.Lan@btinternet.com 2004-05-25, 9:30 pm |
| Hi all
Does anyone know where I can find any source code to work out the shortest
day of the year and longest day there are many star charting programs about
but not one just for the sun and not in source code as I would like
Feel Free to Email me
Thanks in advance
Matt

Shortest Day of the year:
about 21 December for the northern hemisphere,
about 21 June for the southern hemisphere.

Google is your friend..."sunrise sunset algorithm source VB" let to...
http://www.scottandmichelle.net/sco...e/code-031.html
First entry amongst a bunch of others--claims implements a NOAA
Java-based applet w/VB source and references to where it came from...
Anything else? :)

I think it's about the "about" in there--it isn't always 12/21
precisely.

The Program Was Written for USA
I will have to find my longitude and latitude and another variable for where
I live
England > London
Thanks any way really good of you to point it out for me.
It took ages for your mail to reach my news server look forward to hearing
from you in the tomorrow afternoon..

| Matt, the shortest and the longest day of the year are the solstice days of
summer, and winter. Always same days, year after year. No formulae is needed
for that. But if you want to know what date is the earliest sunrise, or
latest sunset, this is another question. Have a look at:

I'm always a trouble maker <g>.... the shortest/longest days if you live
in an area that recognizes daylight savings are:
Shortest = Day after turning the clock ahead 1 hour (day is 23 hours)
Longest = Day after turning the clock back one hour (day is 25 hours)
Yeah... I know....

It varies because our calender doesn't quite match the Earth's orbit.
Otherwise, we'd not need leap years.
DAGS on astronomical calculations.

I always thought it was that the orbit didn't match our calendars... :)

| Lets end this old question of "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?".
First, let me make note that the question only poses "the egg", not "the egg
of the chicken" (or something like that). Now, I'm an evoloutionist...so for
me the chicken evolved from other species. In which case, the other species
also had eggs before the chicken evolved from whatever it's precessor was.
Hope you all have a good day.

It goes even a little deeper than that.
The first chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by some animal which
for convenience's sake we'll call not-quite-exactly-a-chicken, or NQEAK.
But even though an NQEAK laid that egg, a chicken hatched from it, so it
was a *chicken egg*.

Possibly,
but imagine a human foetus grown in a glass flask
(eg: Brave New World)
Is the flask then a 'human flask' ?
Consider also if NQEAKs lay eggs that are bright green and spiked like
a porcupine ...

This would probably explain why NQUEAKs became extinct.

No, IIRC they all got SARS (chicken flu)

| I disagree. Bearing in mind the truth is often spoken in jest haven't you
heard the tale from the divinely inspired ancient book of humour:
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the
headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg,
looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over and says;
"Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question."
