Lahaina Noon today Hilo
#1
"Twice a year, in May and July, the Sun passes directly overhead for locations on Earth in the tropics. On these two days, around local noon, the Sun will be exactly overhead, at a 90o angle, and an upright object such as a flagpole will have no shadow. This phenomenon only occurs in the tropics; the Sun is never directly overhead in any other part of the planet. In 1990 Bishop Museum held a contest to give a name to this phenomenon. The winner was “lāhainā noon.”"
