Observed path of the Sun
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170319.html
The Earth with a 0° inclination and a pivoting circle of illumination would be the end of astronomy and finishing this newsgroup for good. The fact that observations are manipulated to bring it in line with celestial sphere thinking, if it can be dignified at all as thinking, is outright fraud. I would have nothing to say to anyone here again as the damage to astronomy is total. |

You must have awful bother reading maps, what with them being artificially manipulated to have North at the top and the Equator horizontal. Like these images. |

Observed path of the Sun
"Explanation: When does the line between day and night become vertical? Tomorrow. Tomorrow is an equinox on planet Earth, a time of year when day and night are most nearly equal. At an equinox, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between day and night -- becomes vertical and connects the north and south poles. The featured time-lapse video demonstrates this by displaying an entire year on planet Earth in twelve seconds. From geosynchronous orbit, the Meteosat satellite recorded these infrared images of the Earth every day at the same local time. The video started at the September 2010 equinox with the terminator line being vertical. As the Earth revolved around the Sun, the terminator was seen to tilt in a way that provides less daily sunlight to the northern hemisphere, causing winter in the north. As the year progressed, the March 2011 equinox arrived halfway through the video, followed by the terminator tilting the other way, causing winter in the southern hemisphere -- and summer in the north. The captured year ends again with the September equinox, concluding another of billions of trips the Earth has taken -- and will take -- around the Sun."
