On the equinoxes (around 20 March and 22 September), the sun rises due east and sets due west. Between those dates, the sunrise/sunset points shift along the horizon as Earth's axial tilt changes the sun's declination.
What is solar noon, and when does it happen in Pembroke Pines?
Solar noon is the moment the sun is at its highest point in the sky for the day. In Pembroke Pines, solar noon arrives roughly 21 minutes after clock noon, because Pembroke Pines sits in the central partof its time zone. The exact offset shifts a few minutes through the year due to Earth's elliptical orbit (the "equation of time").
