>>13238943The EPA seems to be not all that well educated on how the atmosphere affects sunlight. The big inflection point that decides if you're going to be sizzled by the sun or not comes with the sun about 30º above the horizon.
it is very simple math involved to figure this out, imagine that the earth is flat and the atmosphere is uniform. now you're dealing with basic triangles to figure out the path length sunlight takes through the atmosphere. you can do a lot more math to estimate a spherical planet with an atmosphere that has pressure gradients and you'll get nearly the same number you will from flat earth & uniformly distributed atmosphere.
with the sun 30º above the horizon the path of sunlight through the atmosphere is double what it is at the zenith and the amount of atmosphere between you and the sun climbs rapidly as the sun gets closer to the horizon.
pythagoras probably had all that figured out thousands of years ago, but the gay soience fags in contemporary professional soience can't get it right, sad state of affairs.
