Why is the sun at 9 o'clock in Beijing in the southeast during the summer solstice?

Because the sun rises in the east and then turns to the southeast.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun should be in the southeast, because the sun rises in the east and then begins to turn to the southeast. Noon is due south, because we are in the northern hemisphere, so the sun is due south.

After noon, the sun began to tilt to the southwest. At night, the sun will set due west, and then set. This is the daily running track of the sun, that is, rising in the east and setting in the west.

Basic information

The summer solstice is in midsummer, that is, at noon, belonging to the sun; Although summer is full of yang and the daytime is the longest, it is not necessarily the hottest day of the year, so the heat near the surface is still accumulating and has not reached the maximum. After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly and the air convection is strong, which is easy to form thunderstorms.

The summer solstice is not only one of the 24 solar terms, but also a festival in the ancient "four seasons and eight festivals". Since ancient times, people have the custom of worshipping gods and ancestors in the summer solstice. In addition, after the summer solstice, people generally drink Qingbuliang soup, herbal tea and sour plum soup to escape the heat.
