As the winter season approaches, you may be facing the unique challenge of dealing with the low angle of the sun in your home. This lower trajectory of sunlight not only results in longer shadows but can also lead to increased glare inside your home. At Concord Window Film, we understand the importance of comfortable and glare-free living spaces! That’s why we offer a range of window films specifically designed to tackle this issue.
During winter, the sun sits lower in the sky, and its rays enter your home at a steeper angle. This can cause excessive glare, making it difficult to work on computers, watch TV, or simply enjoy the comfort of your living space. Additionally, the intense glare can cause eye strain and discomfort.
The reason behind the low angle of the sun during winter months in the Northern Hemisphere is rooted in the Earth’s axial tilt and its orbit around the sun.
The Earth is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons. During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. As a result, the sun’s path across the sky is lower, leading to a shallower angle of sunlight entering through windows.
Because of this tilt, the Northern Hemisphere experiences shorter days and longer nights in the winter. The sun appears lower in the sky throughout the day, and this low angle creates longer shadows.
In winter, the sun’s path across the sky (from east to west) is shorter and stays closer to the horizon. This is in stark contrast to summer, where the sun takes a higher and longer path in the sky.
For homeowners, this means that the winter sun can shine directly into windows that may not receive much sunlight during other times of the year. The direct angle of the sun’s rays can cause significant glare, making rooms uncomfortably bright and interfering with daily activities.
By understanding these astronomical factors, homeowners can better appreciate the need for effective solutions like Concord Window Film to manage the unique challenges posed by the winter sun.
