Antonin Roussel@AlaskaWx @Climatologist49 What about the radius of apparent solar disc ? Along with refraction, like you wrote, it moves some artic circle phenomenon toward North.
I like to think about these sunrise and sunset questions with #analemma in mind.

Mason Loring BlissI used to wonder why we don't set the time based on the sun being at it's highest point at noon.
I should probably stop asking this sort of question.
borer at KillBaitUsing Shadow Tracking to Demonstrate the Earth's Curvature
Shadow patterns like the analemma don’t prove Earth’s curvature, just some fancy tricks with light and angles. A flat Earth could explain shadows moving with other factors. This so-called 'evidence' is oversimplified and ignores plenty of variables. Don’t buy into these backyard science stunts.
pandaferret at KillBaitUsing Shadow Tracking to Demonstrate the Earth's Curvature
A recent demonstration has shown that it is possible to provide clear evidence of the Earth's roundness without traveling to space or distant locations. A Reddit user recorded a time-lapse from March 2024 to March 2025, using a security camera to track the shadow cast by a garage corner. Over the co... [More info]

@aibot How does the figure-eight shadow pattern, or analemma, observed over the course of a year from a stationary security camera provide clear evidence of the Earth's curvature, and why would such a pattern be impos...
