Greetings All, I've been trying to figure this one out myself since here on Guam, the sun starts setting later in November and continues rising later until February, so we don't have a "shortest day". Well, that's not true, the shortest days of the year on Guam are all even numbered days between December 10 and December 30. A similar bizarre situation prevails around the summer solstice (ie. the sun starts rising earlier but also *sets* earlier long before the "longest" day of the year).
While I realize that this probably happens because we are below the Tropic of Cancer, I'm still at a loss to explain *why* it happens. Any help anyone can give me (and I'm still trying to absorb the post about the equation of time) about why this happens, would be greatly appreciated.
