Question

Где могут находиться путешественники, если в их путевом журнале в этот день сделана следующая запись?С астрономической точки зрения лето наступило здесь два дня тому назад, ибо начиная с 21-го числа солнце достигло тропика Козерога и его пребывание над горизонтом ежедневно сокращалось на несколько минут. Таким образом, новое путешествие Гленарвана должно было совершиться в самое жаркое время года и под почти тропическими лучами солнца.

Answer 2

Possible Locations of the Travelers

Based on the information provided in the travel journal entry, the travelers could be in a location where summer has recently begun from an astronomical perspective. The entry mentions that summer started two days ago, as the sun reached the Tropic of Capricorn and its daily presence above the horizon has been gradually decreasing by a few minutes each day.

To determine the possible locations, we need to consider the latitudes where the Tropic of Capricorn passes through. The Tropic of Capricorn is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south of the equator. Therefore, any location south of this latitude could be experiencing the beginning of summer.

Unfortunately, the specific location cannot be determined without additional information from the travel journal entry. It would be helpful to know the date and any other geographical or cultural references mentioned in the entry.

Please provide more details from the travel journal entry so that we can provide a more accurate answer.
