Method & accuracy

  • 🧮 Computed in-browser with the NOAA solar-position algorithm (Julian day → solar declination & equation of time → latitude-based hour angle). No external API.
  • 📐 Sunrise/sunset use a 90°50' zenith (34' refraction + 16' solar radius). Civil twilight 96° · nautical 102°.
  • 🕘 Time zone: Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9), no daylight saving.

※ Elevation and atmosphere are approximated, so results may differ from official KASI values by seconds to tens of seconds. For official purposes, check KASI or the KMA.
