The sun does not rise and set form the same point, it moves north in the winter and south in the summer (that's why ancient monuments like stonehenge can be set up so that the sun rises in line with some marker at only a specific time of year). You can see a diagram on
this page.So you'd get a thicker line. I'll think about the precession issue and what that would do to things.
