How about this one? What is the angle between the plane of the earth and the sun viz-a-viz the plane of the earth and the moon?
Trip hazards one day and astro-physics the next – what a varied blog
Seems to depend on what your latitude is.
@patlon …. 23.5?
Its about five degrees!
I should have added – according to Patrick Moore’s book “Guide to the Moon”
Yes, about 5 degrees.
Lovely picture!
