SunAngle

Look, this is a real simple Python project.

I parked my car in the lot today and wondered whether the place I parked would be sunny or not by the time I came out. I can't stand the heat, so I figured if the sun hit a certain angle, the building would be tall enough to give me a solid hour of shade by the time I walked out. But I didn't know what angle the sun would be at.

So I built this thing.

Right now it only takes your current time and outputs the angle of the sun in a MatLib visualization. The next version will support testing for a specific time.

I told you this was real simple.

Also it only works with our sun, so...caveat emptor Martians.

Features

• Just give it your latitude and longitude and you get a terrible drawing of the sun's relative angle.
