longitude to determine your location, allowing it to adjust the forecast and
calculate the times for sunset and sunrise.

• Latitude is used with longitude to identify your position on earth.
• If you do not know your latitude and longitude, there are several ways
to find out. Many atlases and maps include latitude and longitude
lines. You can also talk to the reference department of your local
library, call your local airport, or search on the Internet. The more
accurate you are, the better; however, a reasonable estimate will
work, too.
