Indonesia Will Experience A Shadowless Day This Year, Record The Date

JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts that Indonesia will experience a day without a shadow.

The term is culmination. This event occurs when the sun is exactly at its highest position in the sky.

Quoted on the official BMKG website, later the sun will be directly overhead or at the zenith point. As a result, the image of an upright object will appear to disappear.

The culmination in Indonesia will occur when the sun is at the equator. For DKI Jakarta, the culmination will occur on March 4, 2021, especially at 12.04 WIB.

Then, the culmination occurred again on October 9, 2021, the main culmination occurred at 11.40 WIB.

Meanwhile, the main culmination generally occurs between 20 February 2021 in Baa, East Nusa Tenggara to 4 April 2021 in Sabang, Aceh and 7 September 2021 in Sabang, Aceh to 21 October 2021 in Baa, East Nusa Tenggara.

Why can't the shadow be seen? BMKG explained that when this happened, the earth's rotation did not coincide with the earth's revolutionary plane.

Thus, the sun and the earth will continue to change throughout the year between 23.5 degrees north latitude to 23.5 south latitude. This is known as the sun's daily apparent motion.
