How to enter your location:
To enter your location, open the drop-down next to 'Sunrise and Sunset',
then click the button 'Get Location'.
If Windows knows your location it will enter coordinates automatically.
For a more precise location - which may affect sunrise/sunset times by a few minutes -
open your favorite map (Google/Microsoft/Apple) in a browser and right-click anywhere to get the exact coordinates.
Two decimals are more than enough.
(If you try different locations, remember that times are always in *your* local time,
including DST if applicable.)
Whenever you travel with your notebook you may have to change the location again.
How we calculate sunrise/-set times:
The sun rises at different times every day of the year anywhere on the planet.
You can't just use a table to look it up.
If you are curious: we first calculate
the current distance of the sun for the apparent sun diameter,
add an altitude of -35/60' for the Earth's atmosphere refraction,
then solve the equation of time
caused by the obliquity of the ecliptic and the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit.
Cool stuff, look it up!
