# Sunrise and Sunset Times App

Sunrise and sunset time calculator.

Get it on Google Play
 
Open in any browser

## How to use

1. Open the app (choose between
[Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lwchkg.sunrise_sunset_calculator)
or [web page](https://lwchkg.github.io/sunrise_sunset_calculator/)).
2. Allow the use of your location.
3. **If you care more about sunlight than actual sunrise and sunset (which I
do), check the civil twilight times.**
4. Scroll down to view the sunrise and sunset times for the next 7 days.
5. For other days click “More days...”.

Note: The web page is installable.
See [Aureate: How to install PWA to your device?](https://aureatelabs.com/blog/install-pwa-to-device/) for details.

## Accuracy of sunrise and sunset times

The algorithm in
[NOAA Sunrise/Sunset and Solar Position Calculators](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html)
is used in this app. According to its web site, “sunrise and sunset results are
theoretically accurate to within a minute for locations between +/- 72°
latitude, and within 10 minutes outside of those latitudes. However, due to
variations in atmospheric composition, temperature, pressure and conditions,
observed values may vary from calculations.”

accurate than this app, especially if you live in the arctic circle.
