True Solar Time F.A.Q.
Why do I need True Solar Time App?
This app allows you to see the actual time based on your geographical location.
What is true solar time?
True solar time is measured based on the apparent solar day, the interval between two successive solar returns at the same geographical location. This measurement allows one to know the actual time of Sun zenith or noon, when the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky at the given area, and to subsequently calculate the time of true sunrise and true sunset.
Why there is a difference between true solar time and the local time in my area?
Local time, or “time zone” is a uniform standard time that is used for legal, commercial and social purposes and is generally rounded based on political boundaries of the area. In addition, certain regions use daylight saving time adjustment, while others don’t. Thus local time does not reflect the actual time of a solar day in a region.
Why should I bother myself with figuring true solar time?
It has been known for thousands of years and is now proven by multiple scientific research, that human body works based on true solar time schedule. For example, eating while the Sun is at its zenith point helps one to properly digest the meal, and waking up even a few minutes before the true sunrise helps one to boost his energy and become more successful in all areas of his life.
