🌍 Background
I came up with the idea for this website while traveling to a different time zone. I noticed that the local time did not correspond to the actual solar time, which sparked my interest in creating this tool.
I searched extensively on the internet using different keywords to find the correct solar time. While the weather websites provided plenty of information on sunrise and sunset times, they did not provide what I was looking for. I also came across a few mobile apps, but none of them provided the actual time of the sun.
I wanted to know the true solar time so I could:
- Plan outdoor activities efficiently, taking into account the remaining daylight
- When traveling and arriving at a destination late at night, checking how much time is left before sunrise
This need led to the development of the "Real Sun Time" website, which provides the exact solar time regardless of time zone or season.
⚙️ How it works
"Real Sun Time" website works as a digital sundial. It calculates the solar time taking into account several factors:
- Time
- Position of the sun
- Your location (latitude and longitude)
- Earth rotation time (23h 56min 4.09053s)

💡 Did you know?
The rotation speed of the Earth at the equator is about 465.10 meters per second, which is about 1675 km/h. This is almost twice as fast as a typical airplane!
More than an hour difference between Local Time and True Solar Time because daylight saving time.
