Surely the answer is the North (South) pole, where all sunlight falls on the South (North) facing wall, as you cannot build a North (South) facing one.   Mike Shawhttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/jmikeshaw/N 53º 21' 24"W 03º 01' 47"Wirral, UK.

Anselmo   The sundial on the Place de la Concorde in Paris is a classical horizontal sundial with the "Obelisque" as a vertical gnomon. Lines are now more or less erased due a lack of maintenance. There was a scheme with a short explanation in the june 1999 issue of "L'Astronomie". I can scan

Thinking about this question a little more - during the course of a complete year, doesn't every point on Earth get 50% light and 50% dark? So, the further North (or South) you go, the more of the 50% shines on the South (or North) facing wall. So the North (or South) pole is the place to g

Hi Mike, hi diallists,      When I said a sundial in the North Pole I meant a sundial, say, at 1 cm from it. There the concept of North still makes sense and it is obvious that there there are as many hours of sunlight in the northern side than in the southern side in the course of a year. An

Anselmo, I might have an easy way to solve this in two dimensions. Start by imagining a three-dimensional ring-shaped object, which represents all of the points in the celestial sphere where the sun can be. It looks like part of a truncated globe wherein only the part between the tropics remain

Anselmo et All,   I think the answer to your question is latitude 45 degrees.   At any place the sun is half a year above the horizon. This also means that the sum of the hours that a north facing wall and a south facing wall catch the sun also is half a year.   So we have to look for the la
