Direct sun at the window

Deciding between rooms

Name this room. Then hold two of them up to the winter.

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

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.
