Arab Weather - In a rare cosmic scene, Earth will witness a unique moment on July 8th when approximately 99% of the world's population will share sunlight directly or in the twilight and dusk zones, between 11:00 and 11:15 a.m. Universal Time, or 2:15 p.m. Jordan time.
This is due to the Earth's position around the Sun. The Sun begins to tilt south after the summer solstice, causing daylight to cover large parts of Asia and Africa, with morning twilight and dusk extending towards the Americas and East Asia.
The maps show how the day covers most inhabited land masses, with the exception of limited areas such as Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Antarctica.
This phenomenon occurs during a limited period between mid-May and mid-July, but it peaks on July 8 of each year, when most of the Earth's population is exposed to sunlight, with approximately 93% of those directly under the sun.
July 8th is an exceptional day when we all reflect on how one light unites us, despite our different countries and time zones.
And God knows best.
