LΔhainΔ Noon, also known as a zero shadow day, is a semi-annual tropical solar phenomenon when the Sun culminates at the zenith at solar noon, passing directly overhead. [1] As a result, the sun's rays will fall exactly vertical relative to an object on the ground and cast no observable shadow . [ 2 ]
The subsolar point on a planet or a moon is the point at which its Sun is perceived to be directly overhead (at the zenith); [1] that is, where the Sun's rays strike the planet exactly perpendicular to its surface. The subsolar point occurs at the location on a planet or a moon where the Sun culminates at the location's zenith. This occurs at ...
Half a revolution later (the minor standstill) it reaches a maximum of 5° nearer to the celestial equator than does the sun. So considering the moon's position at 9 PM on 15 February 2024 we look whewre the sun would be at 5 PM on 16 April and (since the date is fairly close to the major standstill) a little higher in the sky.

English: This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2024, as viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale.
On April 8, 2024, the moon will slide in front of the sun and block it out. The sky will get darker, some of the stars will be visible in the daytime, the temperature will drop, and the animals ...
The solar zenith angle is the zenith angle of the sun, i.e., the angle between the sun’s rays and the vertical direction.It is the complement to the solar altitude or solar elevation, which is the altitude angle or elevation angle between the sun’s rays and a horizontal plane.
