About

SunPath 3D shows the path of the sun and moon for any place and any date, in 3D around the Earth.

Globe view: the sun circles the Earth over 24 hours. Close-up views: a dome over the location shows the sun’s path above the horizon. The Earth’s lighting (day, night, twilight) is computed in real time on the GPU.

Calculations: SunCalc and astronomy-engine. Rendering: three.js / WebGL. Imagery: NASA, Esri. Satellites: CelesTrak. Weather, terrain, solar radiation: Open-Meteo, Mapzen. Buildings: © OpenStreetMap. Full sources and licences: credits.
