Malteras, Basically, the nadir is straight down, and the zenith is straight up, from whichever spot you are thinking of. 🙂

I never knew nadir and zenith were directions, I always thought they were locations: the very highest point as opposed to the very lowest point. Zenith vs Nadir. Guess I learned something 🤷

When the sun is at it's hottest, it is upward and at it's Zenith.

Think of it this way, no matter where you are in the world the nadir is the floor directly below you and the zenith is the space directly above you

Player #2438477, Yeah but if you think of it in terms of planet terms that doesn’t work, like Australia compared to UK, which is why it specified the direction of gravity.
