The sun crate is a library for calculating the position of the sun. It is a port of the JavaScript library suncalc.

Example

let unixtime = suncalc::Timestamp(1362441600000);
let lat = 48.0;
let lon = 9.0;
let moon_pos = suncalc::get_position(unixtime,lat,lon);
let az  = moon_pos.azimuth.to_degrees();
let alt = moon_pos.altitude.to_degrees();
println!("The position of the sun is {}/{}", az, alt);

sun

A rust port of the JS library suncalc, forked from the sun crate.

Features

• Get sun position at a given time and position
• Get sun phase times for a given location
• Moon calculations

Install

Add the following to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
suncalc = "0.3"

Usage

pub fn main() {
  let unixtime = suncalc::Timestamp(1362441600000);
  let lat = 48.0;
  let lon = 9.0;
  let pos = suncalc::get_position(unixtime,lat,lon);
  let az  = pos.azimuth.to_degrees();
  let alt = pos.altitude.to_degrees();
  println!("The position of the sun is {}/{}", az, alt);
}
