Sunrise, sunset and twilight
{Note: If your browser does not distinguish between "a,b" and ", " (the Greek letters "alpha, beta") then I am afraid you will not be able to make much sense of the equations on this page.}

Exercise:
The Sun is at declination -14.
What will be its hour angle at sunrise
(the moment the top edge of the Sun first appears over the horizon),
at a latitude of +5620'?
If the Sun is on the local meridian at 12:03,
what time is sunrise?
and what time is sunset?
And when will astronomical twilight start and finish?
