It's because circles
don't have any geographic significance outside a Cartesian coordinate
space. Also, large buffers in Pro have never worked properly so you would
not be able to calculate the sun's azimuth and buffer half the earths
circumference around that point either. It's a bit of MapBasic and some
radian-based 3D trig' to do this problem.
