A Better Clock<\/h3>

Everyone hates today’s clocks, which display the same configuration for completely different times of day, like noon and midnight. Here is a better clock that displays solar noon, midnight, sunrise, and sunset, with colors to represent solar elevation. I wrote this when I realized that even though I like analog displays<\/em>, I dislike analog clocks<\/em> because they misrepresent the single periodic nature of a day, and this has bothered me ever since I was a kid learning to tell time. Input your latitude and longitude, in degrees, with Southern latitudes and Western longitudes as negative values.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
