This page provides a way for you to obtain a table of the altitude and azimuth of the Sun or Moon during a specific day, at a time interval that you specify. Simply specify the object, date, tabular interval, and place below and click on the "Compute Table" button. The altitude and azimuth values are tabulated as a function of the standard time of the place requested (daylight time is not used) on a 24-hour clock. This form is provided by the USNO.


Object:   Sun     Moon

Year:   Month:   Day:

Tabular Interval: minutes   (range 1-120 minutes)

State or Territory:

Place Name:


Notes on the Data:

The altitude and azimuth values are for the center of the apparent disk of the Sun or Moon. The altitude values include the effect of standard atmospheric refraction when the object is above the horizon.

A break in the output table indicates the object has dropped more than 12 degrees below the horizon and is not near the horizon again until the next indicated time.

Daylight time is not implemented in this program. When daylight time is in use, add one hour to the times listed in the table.
