How to use
See when and in which direction the sun rises and sets, for where you are or anywhere you plan to go, right on the map.
From the pin, the gold line points to where the sun rises, the orange-red line to where it sets, and the dotted line to where the sun is right now. Use them to choose a spot for sunrise or sunset photos, or to see which way the windows of a home or hotel room catch the sun.
Sunrise and sunset — The moment the upper edge of the sun touches the horizon.
Golden hour — The time just after sunrise and just before sunset, when the sun is low and the light is warm and soft. Here it is counted as a sun altitude between −4° and 6°.
Blue hour — The short time when the sun is just below the horizon and the sky turns deep blue. Here it is a sun altitude between −6° and −4°.
All times are calculated from the positions of the sun and moon, assuming a flat horizon. Sunrise and sunset are usually within a minute or two of what you see; moonrise and moonset can be off by a few minutes. Mountains or buildings make the sun appear later, and from a high summit it appears earlier. Weather is not taken into account.

Yes. Times are shown in the local time of the place you are looking at, on a 24-hour clock, with daylight saving time applied where it is used. For remote places far from any city in the list, the time zone is estimated from longitude, and the page says so.
No. It works in your browser with no installation and no sign-up.
Not yet. The Korean site has more place pages and a few pages about Korea — the lunar calendar and holidays, the 24 solar terms, and New Year's Day sunrise spots. The map itself works anywhere in the world in both languages.
