Re:Show HN: 3D map of shade around the world by tppiotrowski on Thursday January 06, 2022 @02:55PM (#29829047)
"shade" means that there is no "direct" sunlight on that spot. Some object is in the way blocking the sun. If you were to go the a spot shaded on this map at the given time (and lay your eye at ground level), you should not see the sun (+/- 2 minutes or so because the suns disk is not a point as this model approximates)
