Find the sun's altitude, azimuth & direction for any place and time
This tool computes the sun's position using standard solar equations based on the Julian date, solar declination, and hour angle. Enter your coordinates (or use geolocation), pick a date and time, and specify your UTC offset.
Altitude is the sun's angle above the horizon (0° at horizon, 90° overhead). Azimuth is measured clockwise from north (0°=N, 90°=E, 180°=S, 270°=W).
Useful for solar panel placement, photography golden hour planning, and architectural daylighting studies.
