About SunLocator

SunLocator.com is an interactive global web application for visualizing sunlight and shadows for any location, date, and time on Earth.

Using precise astronomical calculations together with global terrain data, SunLocator shows the position of the sun and how shadows fall across the landscape — down to the minute. It can be used to explore sunlight conditions throughout the day and year, plan outdoor activities, assess locations, or simply understand how the sun moves across the terrain.

SunLocator.com is the spiritual successor to the SunLocator Android app, first released in 2019, bringing the original concept to the web with an interactive global experience.

More projects are available at https://github.com/r-follador/, including CubeTrek.com, a 3D sports visualization platform for exploring GPS tracks and outdoor activities in interactive terrain.
