# sunrise

The sunrise time immediately before the solar transit closest to calendar noon.

```
var sunrise: Date?
```

This property is
optional because it’s possible for the sun to not rise on a given day, at extreme latitudes. That calendar noon is used as a reference point due to variations in frequency of solar events at
extreme latitudes.
