SunPath is designed to show the Sun’s path across the sky on any date as viewed from any position in the earth’s surface. The factors which determine the apparent path are the latitude and longitude of the observer and the date and time of the observation. The Sun’s position is expressed in degrees of azimuth and degrees of altitude.
The path is displayed over a period which can be selected by the user. If either of the solstices or the equinoxes occurs during this period, the Sun’s path for these days is also displayed.
By default, the current year for London, UK is displayed, but if SunPath is run from SunCast or from ApLocate, then the current location held by these programs is shown.
The main screen for the program looks like this:
To use SunPath, you can select the dates, times and locations you are interested in, and the program will then display the appropriate sun paths and will also carry out a number of analyses.
To close the program, click the File and Exit options from the main menu.
See the SunPath Section (use the search facility) of this Help Site for more information.
