1Have you tried suncalc.org. Questions asking for websites tend to dissolve into fairly unsortable lists. – James K Dec 31 '23 at 16:08

2Does this answer your question? Where can I find the positions of the planets, stars, moons, artificial satellites, etc. and visualize them? – uhoh Dec 31 '23 at 23:26

1Does this answer your question? Determine sun azimuth and elevation for shading a window throughout the year – James K Jan 06 '24 at 11:40

That's a good point - the community wiki answer to my proposed dupe lacks a good section for websites. Probably your suncalc.org plus things like https://www.gaisma.com/en/ (less useful in this case) need a section of their own in the wiki. I think that when this is closed both proposed dupes will show up, so I won't withdraw mine. – uhoh Jan 06 '24 at 13:08
