How This Map Works
Solar Terminator
The gold line shows the boundary between day and night, calculated from the Sun's current position using solar declination and hour angle.
City Markers
Yellow dots mark cities in daylight; purple dots show cities in darkness. The status updates every minute.
Subsolar Point
The pulsing gold circle shows where the Sun is directly overhead. It moves westward at roughly 1,600 km/h.
