Geography

Gerum is situated in the south central part of Gotland.[5] The medieval Gerum Church is located in the socken.[6] As of 2019, Gerum Church belongs to Gerum parish in Fardhems pastorat.[7][8]

In the south part of Gerum is the 15 ha (37 acres) Sandarve Kulle nature reserve. The reserve was established in 1984, and comprises a large limestone cliff rising about 20–30 m (66–98 ft) over the surrounding landscape. Its highest point is at an elevation of 60 m (200 ft).[9]

gollark: I think you could probably just use a bunch of functions and some arrays, but if the class way works there's not a huge reason to get rid of it I guess. What's the problem you wanted helpw ith?
gollark: Yes, it sounds like you could just write a function to calculacte sun position and move the axes.
