我正在编写计算太阳经过特定点路径所需的几种方法。我已使用两个不同的来源进行计算，但都未得到期望的结果。这些来源是：http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/suns-position 和 http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/solareqns.PDF
注意：度数转换为弧分是Deg * 60 min。
本地太阳时间：我已将经度转换为“分钟”，从localStandardTimeMeridian方法中得出的本地标准时间子午线（lstm）返回一个“分钟”值，而equationOfTime也以“分钟”返回。使用pveducation的公式，我计算了时间修正值，它考虑了给定时区内的小时间变化。当我将此结果和本地时间（每个都以分钟为单位）应用于本地太阳时间（lst）方程式时，结果是676.515（此时此刻），这对我来说毫无意义。据我理解，本地太阳时间代表相对于太阳的时间，并且当太阳在天空中达到最高点时，被视为太阳正午。676.515没有意义。有人明白可能是什么原因吗。
时角：我希望一旦我修复了localSolarTime方法，就不需要进行更正。
我选择了华盛顿特区的纬度和经度。天顶角和方位角读数都应该是正值，在我所在地区此时此刻分别为66和201。

再次强调，日期、当地时间子午线是完全正确的，而时间方程和赤纬是准确但不精确的。
----更新输出----
-----更新----- 使用散点图显示太阳在一天中的高度/方位角。我仍然有困难弄清楚方位角输出。它长时间正确，但然后它会从增加变为减少（~270-->0）。一旦我最终获得正确的输出，我一定会更新代码。
