A Closer Earth and the Faint Young Sun Paradox
... Abstract: Given a solar luminosity LAr = 0.75L0 at the beginning of the Archean 3.8 Ga ago, where L0 is the present-day one, if the heliocentric distance, r, of the Earth was rAr = 0.956r0 , the solar irradiance would have been as large as IAr = 0.82I0 . It would have allowed for a liquid ocean on t ...

... Alternatively, you can calculate. If the star is on the meridian at sunset, the star is 6h ahead of the sun. That makes the sun’s position R.A. of the star - 6h. The sun is at zero right ascension on Mar. 21. So, convert the sun’s position from R.A. into time and add it to Mar. 21 to find the date. ...
