Daylight & gray line

Follow the boundary between day and night using a locally calculated solar position. This is a geometry model, not a propagation forecast.

Daylight and night on EarthCalculated sunlight, civil twilight, and night. Not a radio propagation measurement.
Light: daylightOchre: civil twilight (0° to −6° solar elevation)Dark: Sun below −6°

An illustrative 2.5° solar grid using NOAA’s approximate solar equations and your device clock. Gray-line geometry can help explore radio paths; it does not predict reception, refraction, terrain, or ionospheric conditions. Current mode refreshes once a minute while visible; choosing a time pauses it.
