Analemmas

The analemma gives the position of the sun in the sky at a fixed time (say, noon) through the course of the year. For the Earth, the analemma is a figure-eight shape. Change the parameters to see what the analemma would be like from planets with different parameters.


The scales are marked in degrees.
