At 34.5 N and 109.4 W the sun sets in the NW by W, why?

The further North you are, the more northerly the path of the sun appears as the summer approaches. It would be "south of west" only if the earth was flat.

Neither of those, it never sets because it doesnt move through space.  The Earth turns, so it appears that the sun is setting.

Just watch where the sun comes up or goes down  coming up is east  sun seting  is west  Fasing east  to your right would be south

Too far from the sun (not enough light) too cold.

South west sky.\n\nJust set the time and date in the map link below.\n\nJupiter looks like a curvy numeral 4 on an olive circle on this sky map!

It's daytime, because of physics. \n\nTo make this simple, just think that since water takes longer to heat than the earth, the air over water is cooler than the air over land. There's some physics law that says everything will reach an equilibrium in temperature. So, the air above will ocean will be moving towards the land to try to equalize. \n\nIn contrast, at night, the air over land cools faster than the air over water. Thus, the breeze goes into the sea. \n\nGood luck!

The Earth’s rotation axis is not perpendicular to the plane in which it orbits the Sun. It's offset by 23.5 degrees. This tilt, or obliquity, explains why we have seasons and why places above the Arctic Circle have 24-hour darkness in winter and constant sunlight in the summer.\n\nBut the angle is not constant – it is currently decreasing from a maximum of 24 degrees towards a minimum of 22.5 degrees. This variation goes in a 40,000-year cycle.

This is not a simple answer to explain in one or two sentences, so I will give it in two parts.  First, the basic reason:\n\nOvernight, the breezy conditions that was on the surface is lifted upwards.  This is because the surface becomes very stable with the loss of daytime heating.  The wind will blow above this layer of stable air until after sunrise when daytime heating will bring the winds back to the surface.\n\nNow the more detailed explaination.  In general, wind at night will decouple from the surface if...\n-there is no strong subsidence (sinking of air) like what you will find behind a strong upper level disturbance.\n-there is strong mixing (unstable airmass) in and ahead of a storms system\n-there is strong surface winds with upper level support. (winds blowing from the same direction through a deep layer above the surface)\n-near ridge or hill tops\n\n(Assuming no major weather changes are expected to occur overnight...)  During the night, with the loss of daytime heating, we lose two parameters that will keep the winds blowing near the surface.  The thermal gradient usually becomes weak and the surface cools.  A thin stable layer forms near the surface as heat rises to the top of this layer.  With time, this layer will thicken as warm air continues to leave the lower layer and replace by cooler air.  The top of this layer, you will find a temperature inversion.  This layer will seperate the higher winds that has lifted higher in the atmosphere and the very stable and near calm winds below.  Once the sun rises, the surface warms and starts to mix.  This will break the inversion and the winds will start to mix back down to the surface.  \n\nThis is also the reason why during the winter, sometimes you will find ground fog forming in a thin layer during the evening and then lifting to a low cloud or stratus right by sunrise; then "burning" off during the day.

i want to see the daily path of the sun on the sky:\n\nrising from east and setting to west as everywhere on earth but going through north at noon not south as in northern hemisphere. must be fascinating to see: all shadows at noon pointing south instead of north\n\nlove your beaches too

the weather is pretty cold because it it far from the sun.It's temperature is -214 C.Its atmosphere is mainly made of hydrogen and methane gas.It has seasons different from us because it is tipped over its side

On the vernal equinox, the sun is directly overhead the Earth's equator at local noon, and we are told that the insolation under those conditions is 1368 W/m^2.\n\nAt latitudes other than the equator, the solar energy per unit area is decreased by a factor of cos(L), where L is the latitude.  This is called the "projection effect".  At 40 degrees latitude, the incoming solar energy per unit area is therefore:\n\n1368 W/m^2 * cos(40 deg) = 1368 W/m^2 * 0.766 = 1048 W/m^2.\n\nI'm assuming the question is asking how long it would take to bring the water to a boil, not how long it would take to completely boil away the water.\n\nIn either case, you are missing a key bit of information necessary to answer the question:  the initial temperature of the water.  Let's assume that temperature is T.  I'll also assume that you are located as sea level, so the boiling point of the water is 100 C.\n\nThe specific heat capacity of water is 4.1855 J/(g*degC), and the density of water is ~1.00 gm/cm^3, so to bring one liter of water from temperature T to 100 C requires:\n\nE = 4.1855 J/(g*degC) * 1000 cm^3 * 1 gm/cm^3 * (100 degC - T) \nE = 4.1855*10^3 J/degC  * (100 degC - T)\n\nWe have a collector with a 1 m^2 surface area, so it supplies 1048 W = 1048 J/sec at 40 degrees latitude, all of which we are to assume goes into heating the water.\n\nWith these assumptions, it would take:\n\nt = [4.1855*10^3 J/degC  * (100 degC - T)]/(1048 J/sec)\n\nseconds to bring the water to a boil.\n\nFor instance, if T = 25 C, t = 299.54 sec ~= 5 minutes to bring the water to a boil.
