I tried to understand the various arguments, like -t to change the time. What does the current time have to do with when the sun rises?? I got out my almanac and it says that on January 1,1981 the sun rose at 06:36 GMT and set at 17:32 GMT, so I tried sun -z 0 -a 51.5 -o 0 -d 01/01/1981 it says the sun rises at 08:06 and sets at 16:02. What is the problem? Tom.
