Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Sunrise and Sunset times on Whitney

On the WPSM board is a topic on "predicting" sunrises. Well, all of this has been done by the government, for any spot on earth.

Here is a jpeg of all sunrise and sunset times for Mt. Whitney for an entire year:

You can get your own original copy by going to the government website at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php.

You can either input Lone Pine, CA in Form A, or use Form B to enter the longitude and latitude for Mt. Whitney in degrees and minutes: 118d 18m West and 36d 35m North, and 8 hours for the time zone.

Because of Mt. Whitney's height, you would need to subtract about 5 minutes for sunrises. You also need to add one hour for Daylight Savings Time when it is in effect. Or, if want just simplicity, just copy my jpeg here.

Thanks for posting these, Wayne. Maybe we can post a new chart every year.

kneejerk thought - wouldn't it be the same every year?

The odd few seconds or leap years might make a small difference.

kneejerk reaction: Oops! I was thinking moon cycles.
