UAE to witness “Zero shadow day” phenomenon

Ibrahim Al-Jarwan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society: The southern regions of the country “Umm Al Zamoul, Liwa, Madinat Zayed, and Al-Quaa” will witness  “Zero shadow day” from June 6 to July 7.

It occurs when the sun doesn’t cast a shadow of an object at noon, as the sun will be exactly at the zenith position.

UAE is also expected to witness the shortest shadow of the noon during this period. | WAM
