# sunrise

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

## Declaration

```swift
var sunrise: Date?
```

## Discussion

Discussion 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.
