I was not going to bother, but the wording of the post that started this is confusing.
The sun is not in the south for 3 or 4 months of the year. If it were there would not be an equinox!
The sun APPEARS to move from north to south, and back again because of the tilt of the earth’s rotation as it moves along the elliptic, or its yearly track around the sun.
The only time that the sun appears to rise exactly due geographic east is the day of the equinox, when it rises above the equator. If you were to stand on the equator facing east on that day (around 20th of March and again around 22nd of September), you would be facing due east, and the sun would appear directly in front of you.
If the season is heading towards northern summer, then each day while you are still standing on the equator, the sun would rise slightly to your left, the angle increasing each day until it rises above the tropic of Cancer at 23.4 degrees north. Conversely, the same thing will happen, but to your right, when the sun crosses the equator heading towards the southern summer.
It is this apparent movement of the sun that causes shadows on the ground and buildings to change position as the seasons change. There is nothing sinister about it, even if there is a blue whale on the roof!
), it could turn into one giant knocking shop!
Surely, the sun rises in the East, and sets in the West regardless of season
