pub struct GeoLocation {
pub latitude: f64,
pub longitude: f64,
pub elevation: f64,
pub timezone: TimeZone,
}Expand description
A struct that contains location information such as latitude and longitude required for astronomical calculations. The elevation field may be ignored by calculations that do not account for elevation.
Fields§
§latitude: f64The latitude in the World Geodetic System, or degrees North of the Equator
longitude: f64The longitude in the World Geodetic System, or degrees East of the IERS Reference Meridian
elevation: f64The elevation in meters above sea level
timezone: TimeZoneThe location’s time zone
Implementations§
Source§impl GeoLocation
impl GeoLocation
Sourcepub fn local_mean_time_offset(&self) -> f64
pub fn local_mean_time_offset(&self) -> f64
Returns the location’s local mean time offset from UTC in hours. The
globe is split into 360°, with 15° per hour of the day. For a
location that is at a longitude evenly divisible by 15 (longitude % 15 == 0), at solar noon (with adjustment for the equation of time)
the sun should be directly overhead, so a user who is 1° west of
this will have noon at 4 minutes after standard time noon, and
conversely, a user who is 1° east of the 15° longitude will have
noon at 11:56 AM. Lakewood, N.J., whose longitude is -74.222, is 0.778
away from the closest multiple of 15 at -75°. This is multiplied by
4 to yield 3 minutes and 7 seconds earlier than standard time. The
offset returned does not account for the daylight saving time offset
since this struct is unaware of dates.
