Sun Path Diagram太阳路径图

See the sun's arc across the sky for any date — today, solstices and equinox, drawn for your latitude.查看任意日期太阳划过天空的轨迹——今天、夏至冬至与春秋分,按你的纬度绘制。

Red = summer solstice · Green = equinox · Blue = winter solstice · Orange = your date.红色 = 夏至 · 绿色 = 春秋分 · 蓝色 = 冬至 · 橙色 = 所选日期。

  1. Set your latitude (and optionally longitude for time labels).设置你的纬度(经度可选,用于时间标注)。
  2. Read the sun's arc: where it rises and sets on the horizon ring, and how high it climbs at noon.阅读太阳轨迹:在地平线圆环上何处升起与落下,正午能升多高。
  3. Use it to scout: if a landmark sits at 120° azimuth, the winter sun will set behind it at around 15:00 in December — know this before you hike.用于踩点:如果地标位于 120° 方位,那么 12 月大约 15:00 的太阳会从它背后落下——出发前先弄清楚。
