SunPosition
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.
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).
