Calculation of sun’s position in the sky for each location on the earth at any time of day


Found this cool website that tells you the sun angle at your location for different days of the year, I find it really interesting.



But anyways for here (Miami Gardens, FL):

Latitude: Just shy of the 26th parallel (about 25.95 N)


Current sun angle at solar noon (April 9): 71.5 degrees


At the Equinoxes: 64 degrees

Winter Solstice: 40 degrees

Summer Solstice: 88 degrees

Cool. Here's a couple more awesome sites. Both very cool.

1st link shows the coverage from sunrise to sunset and where it is currently.

2nd one you can easily pick a date and see the angle of it on the graph..

SunCalc - sun position, sunlight phases, sunrise, sunset, dusk and dawn times calculator

Todays sun declination is about +7.9 degrees (at solar noon)
So the sun is 7.3 degrees north of me hence 82.7° N

I'm at 0.6N so equinox/solstice : 89.4° S, "summer" solstice 67.1° N (actually being 112.9° S), "winter" solstice 66.0° S
