Sun Calendar/Moon Calendar

(Hint: Run WorldClock Lite and refer to the screen while reading this documentation page
from a printout.)
__________________________________________________________________________

Choose Sun Calendar or Moon Calendar from the WorldClock Lite
menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

On both of these screens, a calendar is displayed below the world map.

On the Sun Calendar display, to the right of the calendar you will see:

   • The day of the year.
   • The declination of the sun in degrees north or south of the Equator.  The sun stays in
        a band between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north of the Equator) and the Tropic of
        Capricorn (23.5° south of the Equator).
   • The maximum altitude reached by the sun this day, and the time that occurs.  This is
      the time of apparent (solar) noon at the computer's location.

On the Moon Calendar display, the calendar will indicate the days for new moon, first
quarter, full moon, and third quarter, at the computer's location, considering daylight
savings time if it is in effect.  In addition, to the right of the calendar you will see:

   • The day of the year.
   • The time and direction (clockwise from true north) of moonrise and moonset.
   • The current phase of the moon.

On both calendar screens, the calendar is an active input device.  Click on a day of the
month to recalculate the display for the date clicked upon.  Click on a month to select
the new month.  Click on the year before or the year ahead to go back or forward a year.
Worldclock will keep the new date you selected as you go to other screens.
