RE: Noon Should be Half Way Between Sunrise and Sunset
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Your proposal if done with a small number of timezones is doable up to the point that you can be within the half-hour everywhere. For if in the middle of a timezone which is one hour wide had noon exactly equidistant between sunrise and sunset, on the far west and east sides of the timezone noon would happen at the same instant but be shifted by at most thirty minutes.
I don't know whether this is what happens already. So I went to this site: https://sunrise-sunset.org/search?location=Moscow and found that in cities of London, Upsala, and Moscow all were within 40 minutes of having noon have equal day before and after.

The current time zone map splits the world into 24 sections; so for most people noon is half way between sunrise and sunset. For most people noon is within a half hour of true moon.
The time zones often follows political borders. Iceland wants to be part of Europe; so it is in the wrong time zone. Since everything is centralized in China, it is all one timezone.
The legislation they are talking about would make Daylight Savings Time Permanent. This would mean that noon would come at 1:00 PM. They should be making local Standard time permanent.
Always using standard time is what we do in Argentina and it is what they also do in Saskatchewan Canada. I suppose the motivation is to have a more similar amount of day light hours in the mornings. In the case of Argentina, in some months when people are getting to work or school and in the summer it is daylight before they get up.
I am surprised to see that Argentina is in the same timezone as Brazil. You would think that it would be UTC -4 instead of UTC -3. But, I guess Argentina has always been ahead of its time.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Hey, thanks. Looking up the map it is in some places in the same latitude as eastern Ontario, Canada. I guess that's why at times you can see a hint of the sun in the summers at 4 o'clock in the morning.
