Detailed Description

bool SunRiseSet::isPolarDay(const QDate &date, double latitude)
Checks whether it is polar day on day date at latitude.
That is, the sun stays above -0.83° relative to the horizon at all times. Both sunrise/sunset and dawn/dusk times will be invalid for such a day.
latitude in degree (-90.0, 90.0)

bool SunRiseSet::isPolarNight(const QDate &date, double latitude)
Checks whether it is polar night on day date at latitude. That is, the sun stays below -6° relative to the horizon at all times. Both sunrise/sunset and dawn/dusk times will be invalid for such a day.
latitude in degree (-90.0, 90.0)

bool SunRiseSet::isPolarTwilight(const QDate &date, double latitude)
Checks whether it is polar twilight on day date at latitude. That is, the sun rises at least above -6° relative the horizon during the day, but remains below -0.83° at all times. Sunrise/sunset times will be invalid for such a day, but dawn/dusk times will be available.
latitude in degree (-90.0, 90.0)

QTime SunRiseSet::utcDawn(const QDate &date, double latitude, double longitude)
Compute the civil dawn time (UTC) for a date and Earth location.
date is any valid QDate.
latitude is a floating point representing a valid latitude (-90.0, 90.0)
longitude is a floating point representing a valid longitude (-180.0, 180.0)
Returns the QTime of the sunrise in UTC.
Note: the latitude and longitude are truncated as needed to fit into their proper range.

QTime SunRiseSet::utcDusk(const QDate &date, double latitude, double longitude)
Compute the civil dawn time (UTC) for a date and Earth location.
date is any valid QDate.
latitude is a floating point representing a valid latitude (-90.0, 90.0)
longitude is a floating point representing a valid longitude (-180.0, 180.0)
Returns the QTime of the sunset in UTC.
Note: the latitude and longitude are truncated as needed to fit into their proper range.

QTime SunRiseSet::utcSunrise(const QDate &date, double latitude, double longitude)
Compute the sunrise time (UTC) for a date and Earth location.
date is any valid QDate.
latitude is a floating point representing a valid latitude (-90.0, 90.0)
longitude is a floating point representing a valid longitude (-180.0, 180.0)
Returns the QTime of the sunrise in UTC.
Note: the latitude and longitude are truncated as needed to fit into their proper range.
QTime SunRiseSet::utcSunset(const QDate &date, double latitude, double longitude)
Compute the sunset time (UTC) for a date and Earth location.
date is any valid QDate.
latitude is a floating point representing a valid latitude (-90.0, 90.0)
longitude is a floating point representing a valid longitude (-180.0, 180.0)
Returns the QTime of the sunset in UTC.
Note: the latitude and longitude are truncated as needed to fit into their proper range.
