Zero Shadow Day
Context
In Bengaluru, an extraordinary celestial phenomenon known as “Zero Shadow Day” recently captivated observers.
About
- During this event, the sun’s rays create minimal shadows, effectively turning the world into a place without shadows and filling the sky with light.
- This rare occurrence happens twice a year in regions situated between +23.5 and -23.5 degrees latitude.
- On Zero Shadow Day, the sun stands directly overhead at noon, causing shadows to vanish.
- The Astronomical Society of India (ASI) explains that when the sun is precisely overhead, it does not cast a shadow on any surface.
- It’s a fascinating moment when the natural world seems to defy its usual patterns.
