hard to replicate with such a small light. you have it tilting away from light source - UK winter, suns stays south all day. tilt it towards you for the result you're after - UK summer
I was trying to replicate the Sun coming up from NE ,then setting NW .... I would of thought it would stay in the North from sunrise to sunset ....but it doesn't
yes well if you positioned a light source horizontally (u had it on a high up angle) so it lights up 50% of the globe. tilt the north axis of rotation towards that light source (you had it tilted away). from the perspective of someone in the UK that is what they would observe as the earth rotates... looks at some diagrams if you don't understand what Im saying...
Maybe you missed the point ...the sun is rising NW and setting NE ...it should stay in the North all day ...It does not ...It goes 180 degree South at meridian ...It should remain in the North on a rotating earth ...but we are not rotating.
no i didnt miss the point, it only appears to rise/set in the north but travel into the south throughout the day due to the axial tilt, its easily replicated to show this if you have your model setup correctly.
