Event Summary

India — Bengaluru is set to experience a 'Zero Shadow Day' on April 24 at 12:17 PM, an astronomical event where vertical objects cast no visible shadow as the Sun is directly overhead. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, including Niruj Mohan Ramanujam, confirmed that this phenomenon occurs twice a year in locations between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, including cities like India — Chennai and India — Mangaluru in India. It is a result of Earth's axial tilt and revolution around the Sun, with the Sun reaching its zenith at a 90-degree angle to the ground. The event will move northward, reaching the Tropic of Cancer on June 21, coinciding with the summer solstice.
