Calendar - Sun & Moon

Our application is used to determine the position of sun and moon anywhere in the world, and help you determine the time of sunrise and sunset, twilight, the duration of the day, moon phase and much more.

With this program you can predict the best time (golden and blue hours) for taking pictures of landscapes, nature, and any other outdoors shooting. Both professional photographers and beginners prefer to shoot during the golden hours since it’s easier to work with, and this application helps you identify this time. The golden hour occurs just after sunrise and before sunset, when the sun is low on the horizon, creating that signature warm glow. The blue hour arrives shortly before sunrise and after sunset, when the sun’s position just below the horizon produces those cooler tones.

When someone choosing a home, it is important to know where the sun will be at different times of the day and year, and when different parts of the house or garden will be light or shaded. This application shows the solar path projection for different times of the day and throughout the year, so that you can see when the sun will shine on different parts of the property and when it will be obstructed by nearby objects causing shade.

Also, the program will be useful to calculate the days and hours of maximum activity of animals and fish, depending on the position of the sun and moon in the sky (the time when the moon is in the upper and lower points of its orbit with respect to the observer's position, as well as when the moon is midway between the upper and lower points - see. John Alden Knight - "Solunar theory").
