DaylightMap.com – Is the Sun Up Over Yonder? | Visit daylightmap.com

Do you ever look up at the stars at night and wonder who is basking in the sun on some island far, far away from where you are? Daylight Map can help satiate that curiosity tugging at you. Powered by Google Map, this simple website is exactly what it sounds like—a map of daylight.

The website displays real-time patterns of daytime and nighttime across the globe. The site also offers added features, such as the ability to see the image of just the city lights at night, which may not have a practical purpose, but is certainly easy on the eyes. There are other features for site visitors to play around with as well, such as the global cloud cover, which is updated every hour to illustrate the most up-to-date cloud movements across the world.

“DaylightMap shows the pattern of night and day on a Google map, for any area of the Earth, for any date and time. It also allows you to select up to ten locations on the map; in addition to seeing at a glance whether it's daytime there, you can show their local time, sunrise and and sunset times, and length of day. These locations can be remembered for future visits, saved as a bookmark, or sent to other people as a web link. This site can thus function as a graphical world clock, and can be used to show relative times of any future or past event.”

This website may appeal directly to specific users, such as travelers. Although the information is not necessarily conventional, it is interesting. The Google maps offer fantastic images as well.
