Altitude of the Sun (pt. 2)


Quoted from my Part One post, “When measuring the altitude of the Sun, it is important not to look directly at the sun” yet in this observation, that’s what I did. However the Sun was so low in the sky (5°)  and I only saw a few rays through the trees (through the small hole of the quadrant) that even though my eyes were exposed to UV Rays, I did not consider it “looking into the Sun.”



At 3:50 pm EST on December 14, 2017, the Sun was 5° above the horizon
