The sun rises and sets in the west. Why do houses facing south have good lighting?

Houses facing south are more conducive to lighting, and it is easy to dry clothes and food on the balcony.

2: 1. The house facing south used to be called the first house, because it was warm in winter and cool in summer, and had enough light. Even in winter, sunlight can shine into the depths of the room, making people feel bright and warm. As soon as you enter the room, you will feel comfortable. Moreover, in this living room, in summer, when the sun rises close to the top of the head, the house cannot be exposed to strong sunlight. In addition, the southeast wind can also be blown into the house through windows and portals, making people feel cool and comfortable. So people in China are willing to live in the north room, that is, the room facing south. 2. Before China, the main foreign invasion came from the north. Therefore, in the psychology of China people, they often have to be wary of the north. Therefore, this latent and subconscious psychological threat gradually opened the door in the north and formed a psychological burden. Therefore, there is a reason why China people don't want to live in a house facing south. And if you open the door in the north, your front door will be attacked by the north wind in winter, so not opening the door in the north is another factor. Speaking of which, you may ask, do all the houses in Chaoyang face south? The answer is: This is true for most parts of China, but not for the whole world. Because for different regions, the orientation of the sun in the sky is different. To understand this problem, we must start with the revolution of the earth. We all know that the earth walks sideways when it goes around the sun. Because of this, when you observe the sun from the earth, you will find that the position of the sun in the sky is constantly changing, but your position has not changed. So from this, we can know that the intensity of sunlight in different areas is different, so houses that don't face south are sunny. The direct point of the sun can only move back and forth near the equator, and the northernmost point can only reach 23 degrees 27 minutes north latitude, which is what we call the Tropic of Cancer. Moving south can only reach 23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude, which is the so-called tropic of Capricorn. Therefore, it is impossible for the sun to run overhead in the area north of the Tropic of Cancer. Therefore, the sun always hangs in the southern sky. The vast majority of China's territory is north of the Tropic of Cancer. Because of this, in China, most Chaoyang houses face south. It is located in the south of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces in China, just south of the Tropic of Cancer. Therefore, around the summer solstice, when the sun shines directly near the tropic of cancer, the sun will shoot down from the northern sky. So the houses facing south in this area are not sunny, while the houses facing north are sunny.
