NAME

Geo::Sun - Calculates the Geodetic Position of the Sun over the Surface of the Earth

SYNOPSIS

use Geo::Sun;
my $gs=Geo::Sun->new;
my $point=$gs->point_dt(DateTime->now);  #read as "Point given DateTime object";
printf "Latitude: %s, Longitude: %s\n", $point->lat, $point->lon;

DESCRIPTION

The Geo::Sun package calculates the position of the Sun over the Earth. The single user method point_dt takes a DateTime object as a parameter and returns a GPS::Point which is the point on the earth where the Sun is directly over at the given time.

The Geo::Sun package is a wrapper around Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun with a user friendly interface.

USAGE

use Geo::Sun;
my $gs=Geo::Sun->new;

CONSTRUCTOR
