Reloj Solar de Quitsato, Ecuador

Actualizado: 12 mar 2024


Has soñado en algún momento estar en el centro de la tierra, en el Reloj Solar Quitsato podrás hacer realidad tu sueño. El Reloj Solar está localizado a una hora y veinte minutos desde Quito, Ecuador. Es el primer monumento del Mundo, que ha sido construido con tecnología espacial y no por su posicionamiento satelital (exactamente en la Línea Ecuatorial). El reloj es una torre de diez metros de altura rodeado por un mosaico de piedra que indica las líneas de los solsticios y equinoccios.

Datos Curiosos:


  • La plaza de mosaicos puede ser observada desde los satélites. Esto se debe a los colores de las piedras y sus diferentes temperaturas. Las piedras blancas (más frías) reflejan la luz solar y las oscuras (más calientes) absorben la radiación solar.

  • Se pueden observar varios sitios arqueológicos, las montañas de los Andes Ecuatoriales y el Volcán Cayambe desde la plataforma.

  • El Cayambe, es el sitio más alto en la línea ecuatorial en el mundo. Es el único sitio en el mundo donde la Línea Ecuatorial, atraviesa por nieve (glaciar “Ecuatorial”).

Fun facts: It is the first monument in the World, which has been built with space technology and not because of its satellite positioning (exactly on the Equator Line). The square of mosaics can be observed from the satellites. This is due to the colors of the stones and their different temperatures. White (colder) stones reflect sunlight and dark (hotter) stones absorb solar radiation. You can see several archaeological sites, the mountains of the Equatorial Andes and the Cayambe Volcano from the platform. The Cayambe, is the highest place in the equatorial line in the world. It is the only place in the world where the Equatorial Line crosses through snow ("Equatorial" glacier).

Wow, the Quitsato Solar Clock in Ecuador sounds absolutely fascinating! 🌍 It's incredible to think that you can stand exactly on the Equator and even see where it crosses snowy peaks like the Cayambe Volcano — the only place on Earth where that happens! The fact that the stone mosaic is visible from satellites due to the heat-reflective properties of the stones is a true example of nature, history, and science coming together.

For anyone planning to visit Ecuador or passionate about astronomy and geography, this seems like a must-see destination. I'm definitely adding it to my bucket list!
