Where is sun right now?
The Sun is currently in the constellation of Gemini. The current Right Ascension of The Sun is 07h 06m 25s and the Declination is +22° 33′ 23” (topocentric coordinates computed for the selected location: Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]). The current magnitude of The Sun is -26.71 (JPL).
How is sunrise and sunset calculated?
Sunrise/Sunset Calculations where the positive number corresponds to sunrise, negative to sunset. Then the UTC time of sunrise (or sunset) in minutes is: sunrise = 720 – 4*(longitude + ha) – eqtime where longitude and hour angle are in degrees and the equation of time is in minutes.
Where will the sun rise?
the east
Answer: The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west.
How far is the sunrise from the sunset?
Distance between Sunrise and Sunset is 4747 KM / 2950 miles.
How accurate are sunrise times?
The angles are accurate to about 0.5 degrees (the Sun’s diameter), except when the Sun is at the horizon where the accuracy decreases slightly due to atmospheric refraction, which is not taken into account in these calculations.
How is sunset time determined?
Sunset and sunrise have exactly the same definition: the time when the apparent uppermost ray of the Sun is on the astronomical horizon. If it is the first ray, it is sunrise and if it is the last ray, it is sunset.
In which country Sun rises first?

How long does a sunrise last?
The Sun’s diameter being ½ degree out of 360, I figure it is 2 minutes. Very even precisely two, because the division of time as into minutes, very very long ago, was designed with the movement of the Sun as its base. Downvote: at the poles, the sun can take a long time to sink 1/2 degree.
Can you predict sunrise?
The cloud height is important for predicting whether the sunrise or sunset will be good, but also the amount of cloud – or the cloud cover, is important too. Cloud cover between 30-70% is ideal, as it provides an opportunity for light to shine through.
