Where is the Sun's current position on the Earth right now ?

In the above, there is a high quality virtual topographical map of the Earth. It shows which areas on the earth are illuminated by the Sun. The bright part of those regions indicate where they are in sunlight and the shadow part of those regions show where they are in darkness. The map projecting here is not updated.

Caveats

All the sunrise and sunset results for all the cities are precisely presented in their local times. Besides, the Daylight Saving Time (DST) is duly observed for various cities during the summer.

The times and azimuths shown above are accurate for an observer standing at sea level and looking at a nautical horizon. It is important to note that allowance must be made for elevation above sea level and local horizon (e.g. mountains, buildings etc.). The angle of the sun's movement is oblique to the horizon in northern and southern latitudes, particularily in summer; the apparent angle and time of sunrise and sunset will thus vary according to local conditions.

No allowance is made in the calculations for refraction, which varies according to climate and local weather conditions, or for the variation between Magnetic North and True North.
