Keep the sun at your back
Calculate the sun's position and path for any location, any day, any time.
Sun-Path (beta)
The aim of this app is to demonstrate the relationship between geographic location and solar position throughout the year. You can use the map to drag the location around and interactively see how the Sun-path diagram and shadow projections change. You can also directly relate the 3D Sun-path and day-length, as well as a range of different 2D Sun-path projections.
