Solpedia: Sunrise Sunset

Know exactly when the Sun and Moon rise, set, and cross your sky — and see it, in 3D and in augmented reality.

Solpedia turns the numbers behind a day into something you can look at. Pick any place and any date and get precise times, a sky you can rotate with your finger, and an AR mode that lines the Sun's path up with the real sky through your camera.

SUN, DOWN TO THE MINUTE
• Sunrise, sunset and solar noon (transit)
• All four twilights — civil, nautical and astronomical, dawn and dusk
• Golden hour and blue hour windows
• Day length, and how it changes toward each solstice

THE MOON, TOO
• Moonrise and moonset
• Moon phase, shown right in the sky views
• Moonrise/moonset isophotes traced across the sky

SEE YOUR SKY
• A 3D sky model you can drag to turn — scrub the time of day and the Sun, the shadow and the readout all follow
• A gnomon and its shadow, the horizon, the celestial equator and the meridian
• The analemma — the Sun at the same clock time all year
• Point-your-phone AR overlay to find the Sun's track against the real sky

EXPLORE FURTHER
• Planets — positions and yearly charts for Mercury through Pluto
• A day-and-night world map you can tap to choose a location
• Day-length and equation-of-time charts, theme-aware and clean
• Scrub any date on a Sun-declination timeline with solstice and equinox markers

AT A GLANCE
• Home Screen widgets for sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset and moon phase
• Optional notifications for rise and set, golden hour and blue hour
• Works for anywhere on Earth, past or future dates, offline

Whether you shoot golden-hour photos, plan around daylight, chase the blue hour, or just like knowing where the Sun is — Solpedia makes it clear.
