One Minute Without Shadows In Bali

DENPASAR - The phenomenon of a day without a shadow occurs for about a minute. Officials from the Center for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) Region III Denpasar, Bali, perform the test with a marker.

The phenomenon of the day without a shadow occurred at 12.32 p.m. local time, Friday, February 26. The officers tested it in the yard of the BMKG Regional Office III Denpasar.

"We test it using a marker, about 1 minute at the most", said the Head of the Sub Division for the Collection and Distribution of BMKG Region III Denpasar, Dwi Hartanto.

The phenomenon of the day without a shadow simultaneously occurs in the South Bali region, in Badung Regency, Denpasar, Gianyar, Klungkung. Meanwhile, for tomorrow Saturday, February 27, this phenomenon will occur in the North Bali region, such as in Jembarana, Karangasem, and Singaraja Regencies in Buleleng Regency.

However, for tomorrow, the duration of the shadow's disappearance is estimated to remain one minute. The time is estimated at 12.30 p.pm. local time

"Yes, the duration will be the same for tomorrow but the time is sooner or almost similar", he added.

To find out the missing shadow can only be tested with small objects. However, it can't be imagined for humans because it's too big.

"Markers and pens. Human (shadow) is still visible because it is still big", said Hartanto.
