- Purpose of use
- I can watch the exhaust from rockets launched in Florida from my location in central North Carolina if it is locally night time. The exhaust is much brighter if it is illuminated by sunlight. This can occur for launches that take place within an hour or so after sunset or before sunrise. The Flight Club website provides a prediction of the rocket's flight path (i.e., longitude, latitude, and altitude as a function of time after liftoff). I input these values into this website's calculator to see if the exhaust will be in sunlight.

- Purpose of use
- I used this website to calculate sunrise and sunset times of a suburb of London, UK to find out the effects of altitude setting.
- Comment/Request
- I found many sunrise sunset time websites havefigure mismatches. Luckily I found this website, and I found that since the place I am calculating has an altitude of more than 100m, the sunrise and sunset times can have as high as 2 to 3 minutes' difference from 0m altitude.
