Q. Where can I see that without computing my own calculations ? Asked by Hassan - Sat Jul 18 02:29:26 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Easy way is to use the US Naval Observatory web page. You put in the location of Islamabad = Longitude: 73 08' East and Latitude: 33 40' North. And also the summer time is UTC + 6 hours (east). For Saturday, 18 July 2009 Begin civil twilight 05:42 Sunrise 06:10 Sun transit 13:14 <== This is the solar noon Sunset 20:17 End civil twilight 20:45 (Also same noon time until August 5th.) Notice that the solar noon time is almost the same as 1/2 way between sunrise and sunset. Half-way is 13:13 and 30 seconds, but the sunrise and sunset times are accurate only to 1 minute. *** All these answers about sticks in the ground! How are you supposed to do that when it is raining so much! Answered by Morningfox - Sat Jul 18 09:02:32 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "islamabad" |
