Solpedia: Sunrise Sunset

Hold your phone up and the Sun's whole path is drawn over the real sky — sunrise to sunset, in augmented reality.

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.
