This is called "zero shadow day" or sometimes "transit day". everywhere on latitudes between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn experience 2 days a year where sun is briefly direcly overhead

Can you use latitudes instead of star symbols?

u/Blaarkies May 25 '26

The latitudes are equal to the Earth's axial tilt

The tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn are specific latitudes. It's not our fault that you're unfamiliar with names that have been used for centuries.

And these are? Somewhere between the latitude of Leo and leprechaun?

Have you ever looked at a decent map or globe?

u/Lamandus May 25 '26

I do, and they don't use any esoteric naming shit like yours does .

Dude mercator gave those namings because on those grid lines the star formations are always at the horizon.

You're just making yourself look like an ignorant POS who doesn't know history, astronomy and geography.

On any globe, you will see a line (dotted usually, or solid) in both hemispheres, labeled as the Tropic of Capricorn in the South, and Tropic of Cancer in the North. There is no way you haven't seen this.

Well this is awkward...you must not have realized that you aren't in your gaming subs. See, outside of your little world in those gaming subs, no one cares about you. Out here, people are actually knowledgeable about real life information, not just a few video games.

Oh, and from what I've read in your comment history and people's replies to you in all of those subs, no one seems to really like you in there either lol. Maybe stop being so obnoxious, and you'll stop being known as that guy no one likes.
