<GetAngleT>:
bulletGetAzimuthAngleT property
bulletGetElevationAngleT property
bulletGetDeclinationT property
bulletGetHourAngleT property
bulletGet RightAscensionT property
bulletGetZenithAngleT property

 
bulletGetAzimuthAngleT gets the topocentric azimuth angle (westward from south) 0-360 degrees.
bulletGetElevationAngleT gets the topocentric elevation angle
bulletGetDeclinationT gets the topocentric sun declination
bulletGetHourAngleT gets the topocentric local hour angle
bulletGetRightAscensionT get the topocentric sun right ascension
bulletGetZenithAngleT gets the topocentric zenith angle

"Topocentric" means that the angle is calculated with respect to the observer local position at the earth surface.

SolarPlexus.SetInput must be called in advance to set the input values for date, place on earth etc.

Syntax

DecDegrees = SolarPlexus.<GetAngleT>(Degrees)

<GetAngleT> is one of the above mentioned properties

 
DecDegrees Return value. Double. Angle returned as decimal numeral with degrees before the decimal point, and decimal fractions af degrees after. Example: 117.343242
Degrees Return value. String. Angle returned as a string with the format "pggg:mm:ss.ff", where p=sign (+ or -), ggg=degrees, mm=minutes, ss=seconds, and ff=fractions of seconds. Example: "-117:20:35.67" (which equals -117.343242)
