Date
Enter the date for the report. If calculating for a day, the software calcu-
lates sunrise and sunset for the entered date. If calculating for a month or a
year, the software calculates sunrise and sunset for the month/year during
which the date falls.

Time Zone
Select the appropriate time zone from the drop-down list. Use the time
zone selection to adjust the calculated sunrise/sunset times to the desired
time zone. Note that the software uses the longitude and latitude to actu-
ally determine the times; the time zone simply allows it to adjust the time
correctly.

Daylight Savings Time
Select this check box if you are currently on daylight savings time. The
software adjusts the times for daylight savings only if this check box is
selected.

Latitude/Longitude
Enter the latitude and longitude of the location for which you want sun-
rise and sunset times calculated.

culated by selecting either Day, Month, or Year.
