Analemma · the sun at noon
The sun's altitude and azimuth at local standard noon for every week of the year. The figure-eight is the sum of Earth's tilt and its elliptical orbit; the marked point is this week.
Sun's path · today
The sun's track across today's sky, midnight to midnight, with a dot every hour; the moon's path is dashed. The bands below the horizon line are the civil, nautical and astronomical twilight depths.

The solar year
Sunrise, sunset and solar noon for every week of the year, over the same twilight bands as the ladder above; the vertical line is today. Times are local clock time, so the daylight-saving steps in spring and fall are real; the dashed solar-noon curve carries the equation of time.
