Are my coordinates sent anywhere?
No. The calculation is pure astronomical maths running inside your browser. Your coordinates are never sent to a server, never stored, and never used for advertising.
Why do the times differ from another site?
Sunrise and sunset are defined as the moment the upper edge of the solar disc crosses the horizon, corrected for atmospheric refraction (−0.833°). Sites that use the disc centre, or ignore refraction, land 2–4 minutes away. Mountains and tall buildings on the skyline also shift the moment you actually see it.
What is civil twilight?
The period when the sun is up to 6° below the horizon — still bright enough for most outdoor activity. Dawn is the morning start, dusk the evening end.
How is this different from the city pages?
A page like "sunrise & sunset in Sofia" always shows that city. This page shows the times where *you* are — somewhere else, you get your own times, not Sofia's.
