So their plan is 3:30am sunrise?
What's so crazy about that? It's pretty far north, it's pretty normal to have long sunlight hours in the summer up north. Northern BC doesn't get any night time in the summer anyways. The darkest they get is nautical twilight. And they get almost 19 hours of sun.
Summer would be the same as it now. It's only winter where we'd have daylight starting later and ending later.
Winter is the ~~astrolog~~ astronomically correct accurate time. When we change our clocks in March, that's an hour away from accurate.
Astrologically correct accurate time? What does that mean?
The sun is Earth's nearest ~~astrolog~~ astronomical glowing ball of gas from which we get light and base our measurement of time, also taking into calculation the Earth's rotation on its axis.
I have heard of the sun.
What makes 7am a correct sunrise, or 6am, or any other time?
A 6am sunrise in New York is not going to be a 6am sunrise in Iceland, even with time zones in place.
A 6am sunrise in December is not going to be a 6am sunrise in may… so how would you determine what is ‘astrologically correct’
Also… I am going to just assume you mean astronomical and not astrological, because astrology is bullshit.
Oh you're right, sorry, I meant astronomical. I will go fix that.
Anyway I'm not the one who made the decision that the winter clock time is the astronomically correct time. Someone else hundreds/thousands of years ago made that decision and the knowledge has been passed down and it's in my head.
