How to read the chart

Altitude is how high the Sun sits above the horizon, in degrees - 0° means it's right on the horizon (sunrise or sunset), and it peaks at midday around solar noon, the moment listed above. Azimuth is the Sun's compass bearing as seen from the ground - 90° is due east, 180° is due south, 270° is due west. Together the two lines trace the Sun's full path across the sky today, from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west.

The Sun's path shifts noticeably through the year - low and short in winter, high and long in summer. Next up: 20:51 UTC 21 December 2026.
