The Sun will have a declination of -22.978 Degrees - and thus be nearly 23 Degrees below our Global Equator. The sun itself will have a FULL diameter equal to 2 x 16.3 Arcminutes = 32,6 arcminutes = 32,6/60 Deg = 0,54 Deg. The following pages give a full almanac - taken from our book of high school sundial math and navigation.
