Move along the curve to read the Sun's altitude and azimuth for any day of the year in Kivalina Airport - KVL.

Over the year, the 12:00 Sun ranges from 3.7° below the horizon (around Dec 24) to 42° above it (around Jun 18) in Kivalina Airport - KVL. The smaller loop sits at the top, the signature of a Northern Hemisphere analemma. For about 66 days around midwinter the whole figure sinks below the horizon — the Sun does not rise at noon at all. Notice the whole figure leans east of the meridian: over Kivalina Airport - KVL the Sun reaches its highest point between 13:41 and 14:12 depending on the time of year, but never at 12:00.

Why does the figure look wider here than in the sky view above?

Both draw the same data, but with different conventions. The sky view uses the same scale on both axes, so it shows the analemma with its true proportions, as a camera would capture it: about 47° tall and only a few degrees wide. This chart, like most technical analemma diagrams, stretches each axis independently to fill the plot, expanding the narrow azimuth range several times so its day-to-day variation can actually be read. Also, azimuth is not sky distance: near the zenith, one degree of azimuth spans much less than one degree across the sky, which further widens the figure in this representation.
