Description
An interactive solar visualization tool that tracks the sun's position, altitude, and bearing for any location on Earth. The simulation features a planetary comparison tool that allows users to see how daylight and shadow lengths would change if the same geographic point were located on Mars, Venus, or other bodies in the solar system.
