getUTCSeaLevelSunset

fun getUTCSeaLevelSunset(zenith: Double): Double

A method that returns the sunset in UTC time without correction for elevation, time zone offset from GMT and without using daylight savings time. Non-sunrise and sunset calculations such as dawn and dusk, depend on the amount of visible light, something that is not affected by elevation. This method returns UTC sunset calculated at sea level. This forms the base for dusk calculations that are calculated as a dip below the horizon after sunset.

Return

The time in the format: 18.75 for 18:45:00 UTC/GMT. If the calculation can't be computed such as in the Arctic Circle where there is at least one day a year where the sun does not rise, and one where it does not set, Double.NaN will be returned. See detailed explanation on top of the page.

Parameters

zenith

the degrees below the horizon. For time before sunset use negative numbers.
