  • The azimuth of the sun is the angle of the sun's position defined by the relative direction along the horizon. However the most commonly followed convection for analyzing the sun radiation is 90 degrees east, south 180 degrees and west is 270 degrees.  
  • As sunrise and sunset are defined by the upper limb of the solar disk. These conditions produce patterns of night and day as the sun appears to move just above the horizon at an angle of 0.39 degrees per day as the equinox passes.
