The SunPosition component calculates a current sun position based on the current time and geographical coordinates. The Internet connection is not required for its proper work.

SunPosition component

The SunPosition component has the following slots:

  • Enabled: change of the slot's value enables or disables the component—if the component becomes disabled, it stops to operate;
  • Update Period: time after which the weather data are refreshed (expressed in minutes);
  • Longitude: geographical longitude; geographic coordinates define the place which the component shows the sun position for;
  • Latitude: geographical latitude; geographic coordinates define the place which the component shows the sun position for;
  • Day Length: shows the current day length for the place defined by geographical coordinates;
  • Sunrise Hour: together with the Sunrise Minute value shows the time of sunrise in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the HH value);
  • Sunrise Minute: together with the Sunrise Hour value shows the time of sunrise in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the MM value);
  • Sunset Hour: together with the Sunset Minute value shows the time of sunset in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the HH value);
  • Sunset Minute: together with the Sunset Hour value shows the time of sunset in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the MM value)
  • Noon Hour: together with the Noon Minute value shows the time of noon in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the HH value);
  • Noon Minute: together with the Noon Hour value shows the time of noon in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the MM value);
  • Midnight Hour: together with the Midnight Minute value shows the time of midnight in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the HH value);
  • Midnight Minute: together with the Midnight Hour value shows the time of midnight in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in HH:MM format, here shows the MM value);
  • Max Elevation: shows the maximum sun elevation in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in degrees);
  • Min Elevation: shows the minimum sun elevation in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in degrees),
  • Current Elevation: shows the current sun elevation in the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in degrees),
  • Current Azimuth: shows the current sun azimuth angle for the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in degrees);
  • Current Declination: shows the current sun’s declination for the place defined by geographical coordinates (expressed in degrees);
  • Current Right Ascension: shows the current right ascension of the sun (expressed in degrees).
