- 1_player 7y agoGotcha. Though in this day and age having our time based on the sun is a bit of an anachronism, as we work under artificial lighting and not in a field. And in any case Sunrise is not good enough, as some Nordic countries don't have any sunrise at all during winter. What's Sunrise+1 in Iceland in December?
