Is there a term for "path of the Sun at a given point of the Earth" I want to buy a house and I'm asking myself what quantity of daylight the various sides of the house receive.
I know the house is roughly oriented in the east-west direction.
But I'd like to know the exact apparent path of the Sun around the house depending on seasons, with (ideally) the elevation angle of the Sun.
Is there a technical term for &quot;the apparent path of the sun at a given point of the Earth, at a given time of the year&quot;?
Also, is there an online tool that allows one to visualize this path on a map?
Merriam-Webster defines diurnal arc:

the portion of the diurnal circle of a celestial body that is above the observer's horizon

and diurnal circle:

the apparent circle or parallel of declination described by a celestial body in consequence of the earth's rotation

The NOAA Solar Calculator does not implement the exact feature in question but can show the Sun's azimuth for any given location, date, and time.
