# Calculation of sun
[![Inline docs](http://inch-ci.org/github/OrionStark/calculation-of-sun.svg?branch=master)](http://inch-ci.org/github/OrionStark/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

## Without npm
1. Clone this project
2. Create your new js file
3. Import the solar-calculation.js to your code. You could find the script in dist directory
4. Then, have fun

## Attention
If you didn't understand what I'm saying about how to use it without npm. You could check the main.js.
That's it.

## 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 */
    /* For the other function and it's parameter. You could check on the table below */
```

## 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
