Astronomical data can look unexpected when the wrong same-named city is selected, the viewed date changed, or observed visibility is compared with a geometric calculation.

Checks to make

  1. Confirm the exact city and region in the Location section.
  2. Verify the device date, time, and time-zone settings.
  3. Remember that the Sun and Moon sections use the current date; the main World Clock slider does not alter them.
  4. Remember that terrain and weather can hide the sun or moon.
  5. Remove and add the correct location if the wrong same-named city was selected.

What the result tells you

  • Calculated sunrise is not the moment sunlight clears every local obstruction.
  • Moon illumination does not guarantee that the moon is above your visible horizon.

Before trying again

  • Provide the city, date, and displayed values in a support report.
  • Use local official sources for safety-critical planning.
