JAKARTA, iNews.id – A day without a shadow starting today until October 21 in Indonesia. Maybe many are still wondering, what is Day Without Shadows?
Indonesia stretches from 6 degrees north latitude to 11 degrees south latitude and is bisected by the equator. With this geographical location, the Sun will be above Indonesia twice a year.
The first phenomenon has occurred in late February to early April. While the second will take place from September 6 to October 21, 2021.
According to the Research Center for Science and Space at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) Andi Pangerang, when the position of the Sun is above Indonesia, there is no shadow formed by an upright, hollow object in the middle of the day. As a result, the phenomenon is called Day Without a Shadow of the Sun.
