Frequently asked questions

What is Planetary Positions?

Check the Sun, Moon and planet positions, ecliptic coordinates, distances and lunar phase for a current or specified time. It uses the same submitted inputs and fixed calculation rules each time.

What does the result include?

Sun, Moon and major planet positions; Ecliptic coordinates, distances and lunar phase; UTC, Julian Day and observer location.

What if the time or place is uncertain?

Use the closest supported value, keep the uncertainty visible, and compare boundary cases before interpreting the result.
