Deciding between rooms
Name this room. Then hold two of them up to the winter.
Save the room above under a name, then model the next one. The figure holds them side by side: hours of sun today and at both solstices, when it first and last reaches the floor, and how far in. Send it and the other person sees the same rooms.
Calculated direct sunlight, and only that: the sun's own position through a rectangular room with a level floor, a vertical window, and one uniform angle for whatever stands across the street. Each room is drawn in its own city's local time. It does not know your actual neighbours, trees or glass; it is not a measure of brightness or warmth; and it cannot tell you whether a plant will do well there. Methods & sources
How it knows
Sol draws this beam through your actual window — hold the phone to the glass and its AR orbit shows where the sun will be, any hour of any day you scrub to.
