# Calculation of sun Sun calculation fully based on formula from http://aa.quae.nl/en/reken/zonpositie.html ## Warning This program is not really accurate about the calculation. For the sunrise and sunset, the error value is about 2 minutes miss from the actual time. For the Altitude the error value is near 0.6 degrees and the azimuth as well. ## Install with npm npm install calculation-ofsun ## How to Use It ```javascript const cls = require('calculation-ofsun') console.log(cls.getSunInformation(new Date(), 33, 3)) /* Get Sun Information expected 3 parameters */ /* Date, lat, long */ ``` ## How to use another functions that require juliandate as the parameter ```javascript const cls = require('calculation-ofsun'); const myJD = cls.dateToJD(new Date()); console.log(cls.solarTransit(myJD)); ``` You can also call any function except getSunPosition, because it automatically calls by the getSunInformation function to get sun position according to your input parameters for getSunInformation. ## Functions parameter Function Name | Expected Parameter ------------- | ------------------ getSunInformation | Date, latitude, longtitude dateToJD | Date jdTODate | JulianDate equation_of_center | JulianDate earthMeanAnomaly | JulianDate earthTrueAnomaly | JulianDate eclipticLongtitude | JulianDate rightAscension | JulianDate declination | JulianDate sideraltime | JulianDate getHourAngle | JulianDate getSunPosition | None, Dont use it solarTransit | JulianDate sunriseandsunset | JulianDate ## Example of return object from getSunInformation functions Nethereland GMT +1 It'll return time denpend on your local time { sun_position: { azimuth: -77.80678591967518, altitude: 4.0819291879429525 }, date: 'Sat Mar 10 2018 13:39:40 GMT+0700 (WIB)', sunrise: 'Sat Mar 10 2018 13:07:56 GMT+0700 (WIB)', sunset: 'Sun Mar 11 2018 00:36:33 GMT+0700 (WIB)', mean_anomaly: { degrees: 64.65251729583633, rad: 1.1283992965149248 }, solar_transit: 2458187.994618933, equation_of_center: { degrees: 1.7458618484586093, rad: 0.03047103754055702 }, h: 282.14627224302416, RA: { degrees: -9.80213468943287, rad: -0.17107952405455543 }, clientJD: 2458187.777554097, true_anomaly: { degrees: 66.39837914429494, rad: 1.1588703340554818 }, sideraltime: 272.3441375535913 }
