public class SunCalc
extends Object

This class is a partial Java port of SunCalc. A BSD-licensed JavaScript library for calculating sun position, sunlight phases (times for sunrise, sunset, dusk, etc.), moon position and lunar phase for the given location and time, created by Vladimir Agafonkin (@mourner) as a part of the SunCalc.net project.

Method Summary

static com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Coordinate	getPosition(Date date, double lat, double lng) Returns the sun position as a coordinate with the following properties x: sun azimuth in radians (direction along the horizon, measured from south to west), e.g. 0 is south and Math.PI * 3/4 is northwest.
static boolean	isGeographic(double latitude, double longitude) Test if the point has valid latitude and longitude coordinates.
