Variable Sun

Type declaration

• getGeographicPosition: ((date?: Date, target?: Coordinates) => Coordinates)

  • • (date?, target?): Coordinates

    • Gets the position of the sun in equatorial coordinates at the given date.

      Note: the geographic position of the sun is the location on earth where the sun is at the zenith.

      Parameters

      • Optionaldate: Date

        The date to compute the geographic position. If unspecified, the current date is used.
      • Optionaltarget: Coordinates

      Returns Coordinates

      The geographic position of the sun at the given date.

• getLocalPosition: ((params: {
      azimuth: number;
      distance?: number;
      point?: Vector3;
      zenith: number;
  }, target?: Vector3) => Vector3)

  • • (params, target?): Vector3

    • Returns the local position of the sun, given the zenith and azimuth.

      Parameters

      • params: {
            azimuth: number;
            distance?: number;
            point?: Vector3;
            zenith: number;
        }

        • azimuth: number

          The azimuth of the sun, in degrees, in horizontal coordinates

        • Optionaldistance?: number

          The distance of the sun to the local point.

          Default Value

          1
          Copy

        • Optionalpoint?: Vector3

          The local point.

          Default Value

          (0, 0, 0)
          Copy

        • zenith: number

          The zenith of the sun, in degrees, in horizontal coordinates.

          Note: the value is clamped to the [0°, 90°] range.
      • Optionaltarget: Vector3

      Returns Vector3
