Ok so over the 6 weeks off we got given astronomy coursework to do, we could choose what project we wanted to do, so i chose the shadow stick on and what you have to do is work out the time of local noon using a shadow (done that) then second work out the observers longitude. How the heck am i supposed to do that!? ive got the angles and mesurments does anyone know a formula or something to work out my longitude?? =S thankks

Hi. What you will determine is local noon (it will be off from what your clock says). Local noon is when the Sun is highest in the sky. Time this to how many degrees of rotation it took to get to your local noon from UTC local noon time and Bob's your uncle.

save up your funds and get a good base. Like city decay primer potion, too confronted shadow coverage, MAC paints/paintpots. Or often times in case you have stable concealers or foundations extraordinarily those from MAC they could paintings as a primer too. yet while your finding something somewhat extra much lower priced than all those in like drug shops. attempt NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencil thingys. great for primer/base. Or Loreal HIP paints. :)

Hope you get A*
You know the GMT time when it is your local noon. Work it out from that.
