Sun Direction Map. Sun angle and sun path Accurate location-specific knowledge of sun path and climatic conditions is essential for economic decisions about solar collector area, orientation, landscaping, summer shading, and the cost-effective use of solar trackers. The thin orange curve is the current sun trajectory, and the yellow area around is the variation of sun trajectories during the year.

Longer and thinner lines mean the sun is closer to the horizon. Thicker and shorter lines mean the sun is higher in the sky
View on map the normalized shadow length (when change the zoom, hit again EXECUTE button to re-generate the segments according to the new zoom factor) and the direction of the shadow produced by an obstacle ( 180° opposite of sun rays), the formula is: shadow object lenght = object height/tan(sun elevation degree). You can also directly relate the 3D Sun-path and day-length, as well as a range of different 2D Sun. The lines on the drawing show the direction and height (altitude) of the sun throughout the day
The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Sun Path Diagrams [Free PNG Download]. The thin yellow-colored curve shows the trajectory of the sun, the yellow deposit shows the variation of the path of the sun throughout the year. You can use the map to drag the location around and interactively see how the Sun-path diagram and shadow projections change
