Starting to move dirt for a building that will sit in front (south) of my calf hutches. I want the building far enough away that i don't put the hutches in a shadow in the winter. I can't move the hutches back (north) if I screw up and put the building too close because the road is to the north of the hutches. The building will be roughly 15' high. I'm right on the Wisconsin/Illinois border, i think roughly 42*N latitude. Does anyone know what the length of the shadow from this building would be on the shortest day of the year? I didn't pay that much attention in geometry class obviously. Thanks
If you find your place on ms googly maps you can get your latitude to a fairly high accuracy.
Suggest NOT using all the digits that are given as if you do you are saying that your click point is accurate to within something like a 1/4" (which I don't think it is - - - within 2' would likely be adequate for what you're doing - - - grin!)
Interesting calculator listed earlier - - - thanks!!! |
