Local day boundary

Dawn-to-Dawn Biblical Day in the Zadokiah Calendar

The current tool changes the displayed biblical date at the selected local dawn boundary.

Default and options

Sunrise is the default. The options panel also permits civil dawn (about 6 degrees), nautical dawn (about 12 degrees), or astronomical dawn (about 18 degrees).

Before the boundary

When local time is earlier than the calculated boundary, the tool uses the preceding civil date for its biblical calendar conversion.

Why location matters

Time zone alone is not enough for sunrise. The calculation also needs latitude and longitude. Presets supply coordinates; the displayed note names the location and exact calculated boundary.

At extreme latitudes an astronomical event may not occur on a given date. The interface reports an unavailable result rather than inventing a time.
