Is there a way to change the altitude from 0 meters? If someone could explain to me how. The sun is going to cause all sorts of fires at that altitude!!!

Thanks!

The altitude is set within his little php applet. I would like to request that it be set to at least 3600000 (the same height as the satellites). Would be greatly appreciated. Maybe as an alternate kml?

any chance you would release the php code? Then maybe we could copy the function. I know i'd like to build one to do the moon with phases.

This overlay is awesome!! It's updating about every 5 seconds and I'm mezmorised by watching the sun go across the earth, I can't believe how fast it goes!

I wonder how hard it would be to make a trace line as well? It would be interesting to see a year's worth of the sun's path....

Here's a shot at a year's worth of the solar path. I cheated a bit; each ring is 5 days' motion, but now I realize the spiral is incorrect then. Anyway, it's a first try.

Ok.
I will try and get height added this week. I have been rather busy with other things.

Paul.
