A sun path diagram shows the sun's track across the sky — where it rises, how high it climbs and where it sets. This generator draws today's path (or any date) together with the solstices, and a slider moves the sun through the day with its altitude and azimuth.
How to use the Sun Path Diagram
- Pick a location and date.
- Drag the slider to move the sun.
