Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	SUN_AZIMUTH	geo angle (0-360°)	-1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308	The angle of the sun along the horizon.	140.03

The sun azimuth indicates the direction of the sun, relative to the project area.

Notes

• The sun altitude and azimuth are (re)calculated automatically based on the project world location and the date, when the dates of the overlay are modified via the Heat Overlay configuration wizard. They are not automatically recalculated when the dates attribute of the Heat Overlay is modified directly.
