The suns angle .... All wrong !! - Page 2

About a month ago, I noticed something weird. I drive to work everyday at the same time and the same route. This one morning, I was driving to work and I had to use sun visor in the car because the sun was allready that high. On the way there, there is a small hill I have to climb up, so estimating the suns angle is fairly easy! Well, that morning was as any other, so was the next one, except for one part. When I was coming to the section where the hill is still approx. 2 km away, where I had to raise my sun visor up the morning before, the sun was still behing the hill! I could not believe it and had to check my watch for the time. Sun was at minimum 5-8 degrees lower than the morning before!

ditto... I've been using my hand to block the sun while driving for years.. it's the same here. Maybe someone switched it on your side of the world.
