The sun is under 4000 miles above the earth. When I measured it using the length of shadow, and some trigonometry; I got the height of the sun somewhere between 2000-3000 miles high.

The height of the celestial bodies goes by the days of the week. Starts with the sun, which is closets to the earth, then Monday and the moon. Tuesday and mars, which is the third closest to Earth. Wednesday and mercury. Thursday Jupiter. Friday Venus. And in the end, the 7th closest celestial body, Saturn and Saturday.
I determined that the sun was shining at a 45 degree angle, based on where I was, as the object casting the shadow, and the shadow, was the same length. Seeing as the sun was 2500-3000 miles south of me, I also knew that had to be the height of the sun when I made those measurements, based on trigonometry.

What does this even mean?
