TOLEDO, Ohio — In the busy everyday routine, you might not notice the little shift every day that the sun is making in the sky. As the warmer seasons move in, the sun angle becomes stronger and more direct.
This impacts parts of your everyday life.
The angle of the sun in relation to the earth is a little bit lower, but as we transition from spring to summer, the angle becomes more and more direct.
But how do we notice that?
Well, you will notice the difference in sun angle at sunrise: during the winter the sun rises farther south, during the spring it rises a little farther north, and during the summer it rises even more to the north.
But besides the sunrise, sun-angle also changes how we experience our day-to-day.
As the sun angle rises, spring snow is more easily melted by the harsher sun angle.
You will also notice that you are going to have to start wearing sunscreen. It is easier to get sunburned due to rising sun angles.
Additionally, longer daylight hours will also occur. You will soon start to notice the longer days, especially as the time change is this weekend.
