Sunrise & Sunset
•Sunset:
•Example early Sunset in December (around 16:55 Solar-Time)
•Late Sunset in June
(around 19:10 Solar-Time)
Similarily, Sunset occurs when the intersection reaches the right (Western) side of the Horizon line. Since the Sun Hand moves at a slightly faster speed than the Ecliptic, the time varies daily. The example shows the difference between December, when the sun sets early (around 5pm) and June when the Sun sets late (around 7pm).
