On July 15th, 39 degrees north latitude, what time does the Sun transit, E.D.T.?

Where is the sun on a planisphere??

Ok, fess up. This is homework, isn't it?

That depends on your longitude as well as latitude, so there's not an easy answer.

Here's a hint: What time of day are you using a planisphere?

Where is the sun on a planisphere?

Let me think... If its dark. and you are looking up... could it be hiding behind Earth till tomorrow... and what is E.D.T. we do not all live in the USA. Eastern Daylight Time and at Noon or near to it the sun will be directly overhead... Its the bright white thing.
On the 15th of July, .. try a astronomical calendar.. the sun rise times and transits are all there. Try a local book shop.

So in relation to your question I looked at July the 15th... and find that the sun rise time is only 4 mins., different than it was for the solstice. The set times are 11 mins., later. None of that actually helps you does it... and yes I also live 39 deg., South.

As a science project we plotted the midday shadow from a flag pole at the high school. Near the solstices the movement from day to day is very small. at the 3 month out from, the movement was measurable daily. When its not raining.... and I hope this helps you understand.
