Sun Position in the sky.
Description:
The following software will enable you:
- To
calculate the position of the sun in the sky (angle of the sun compared
to the horizon, and the azimuth which is angle of the sun compared to
the south), as well as instantaneous solar energy in a day or annually.
- To calculate the duration of the day.
- To calculate the duration of the paddle.
- To calculate the duration of the night.
- To know the hours of raising and lying of the sun.
- To know when the clouds can potentially become red (red clouds).
- To easily change cities thanks to a list of latitudes/longitudes for more than 13000 cities in the world.
I also
left some debugging functions which I used during the development.
I also improvised a climatic evaluation, which is flexible with some parameter that adapt the calculation for different climate
on the Earth.
I create it myself with BorlandC++ 4.6, it does not have virus inside, I compiled it for Pentium.
It must work with Pentium 60 (or more) and probably with Windows 95 (or more).
Dowload:
WSOLEIL.EXE
: It is the executable. The coordinates by default is Neuchatel.
wsoleil.dat
: Download also this data file where are stored the latitudes and longitudes of some cities of the world. This file will be
useful for you to select your cities or closest in the list.
Version of: December 04, 2007.
The files wsoleil.exe and wsoleil.dat must be put in the same repertory, with the choice of the user.
In option:
wsoleil.7z(source)
: Contains the source files, * h, * cpp, for those which want to program C.
Note:
The assistances and explanation are integrated in the software. This software is in permanent evolution, in theory I arrange
itself to put a version which work.
