Hi all, I am just wondering if there is a way to find out where the sun was in the sky at a certain time and a certain date. I know its a random question and not sure which category it would go in.
 
Dunno if Stellarium can do it - I seem to remember you could change the date and time but not sure if it included the sun's position.
 
suncalc.net? Found on google. Lets you pick a day and shows you the sun movement, if thats what you are looking for.
 
Depending on why you want to know in that case I'd be careful going on anything other than a professionally calculated result I doubt any software (especially in untrained hands) is accurate enough to be anything other than an indication of likelihood.
 
That suncalc one! nice ap

Fatal bike accident happened last year and the person who caused the accident is claiming that the sun was in the eyes.

Assuming they were driving a car, even if the sun was in their eyes I'm not sure rhat would be a valid defense. If it becomes dangerous to drive, you slow down or stop...
