EXPLANATION The Subsolar coordinates are almost perfectly accurate. Longitude is based off UTC time Latitude is based off averages This projects shows that the sun is never only on the equator ----------------------------------------------------- How To Use The Day + or - will change the date of observance by the value, the negatives will go back in time while positives will show the subsolar point in however many days advance. The Day Variable tells you what day of the year the project is calculating for while the Subsolar Long and Subsolar Lat just tells you where the sun is along the map. The Normal Latitude and Longitude variables tells you the latitude and longitude of your mouse cursor, just to give you a guide for whatever reason. The blue line on the map is the equator, the light green is the Tropic of Cancer ( The Highest Possible Subsolar Latitude) while the dark green line is the Tropic of Capricorn (The Lowest Possible Subsolar Latitude) ----------------------------------------------------- Why did I make This? I, for some reason, am addicted to compasses (or used to be at least) but my phone does not contain a magnetometer (The phone's equivalent of a compass). Since then I have made countless project using the sun to find north. That's when I realised: Wait! The sun isn't always Due West or East! This is pointless! Anyways, the reason the sun is never due West or east is the fact that the sun is never truly in line with YOUR west or east, it always changes. So the main purpose of this project was meant to be a more accurate way of finding true North but then I realised the Earth's tilt probably messed everything up and scratch's math would be way too weak to calculate everything so I left the project like this. ------------------------------------------------- Version List - v1.0: Multiple bugs, barely worked - v1.1: Fixed Latitude Bug - v1.2: Added Equator, Cancer and Capricorn Lines - v1.3: Added Days + or - - v1.4: Added Subsolar Coordinates - v1.5: Added Credits, fixed a bug with positioning
5% - Thanks to @jgodoy for the map and coordinates calculations 10% - Thanks Wikipedia for average latitudes throughout the year (It's actually accurate for once xD) 85% - Rest by me
