“9 AM” rows are for 9 AM local; the daily high/low, UV and rain chance cover the whole day. Forecast from Open-Meteo; air quality from the Copernicus (CAMS) model via Open-Meteo.

The Sun's apparent declination (orange, left axis) and right ascension (blue, right axis) across the year. Declination swings ±23.4° between the solstices and is 0° at the equinoxes — that tilt is what gives us seasons. The four dotted verticals mark this year's equinoxes and solstices; see Reading the Sky below for what declination and right ascension mean.

A short primer on the two numbers used all over this page (and by Wikipedia, TheSkyLive and every star atlas).
Picture the sky as a giant globe with Earth at the centre. Just as places on Earth are pinned down by latitude and longitude, points on that sky-globe are pinned down by declination and right ascension — a grid that is fixed to the stars, not to the spinning Earth.
On this page the Sun and Moon rows list their current apparent RA and Dec; the constellation is just whichever star pattern that RA/Dec falls inside.
The Sun and Moon figures, the Moon-phase drawing and both charts are computed on your device with Astronomy Engine (an offline astronomy library). Place search and time-zone lookup use Open-Meteo's geocoding API; conditions come from Open-Meteo's forecast and air quality from its Copernicus (CAMS) feed. Choosing “Use my location” shares your coordinates with Open-Meteo for those lookups only — nothing is stored off your device. Values may differ by up to a minute (rise / set) or a degree or two (temperature) from weather.com and TheSkyLive, which use their own models.
