> Changes to "two hours after sunrise". Which is more accurate in a globalized world anyway, because 9:00 is sometimes an hour after sunrise and sometimes several hours after sunrise, depending on where you live.
Depends just as much or more on the time of year - sunrise/sunset varies a lot by season. I think it makes less sense to base things relative to sunrise when it's so incredibly varied.
- Grue3 10y agoAnd there are parts of the world where there's no sunrise/sunset at all during certain seasons.
- solatic 10y agoSo then how does saying "I got up at 9:00" have any meaning if you live in an area with only a few hours of sunlight if any? I didn't make the claim that "two hours after sunrise" is completely accurate. I made the claim that it's more accurate. It's more accurate for more people who live relatively closer to the equator.
