晨昏线（The terminator line） Figure 1 (2) to distinguish the terminator: In the sunshine chart, the morning line and the faint line distinguish, the judgment method has: According to the judgment of day and night ball, the dividing line between the west edge and the night hemisphere is the morning line, and the other is the faint line. According to the earths rotation direction judgment: along the earths rotation, by dividing the day side transition to the night hemisphere is out of line, the point of sunset line (Huang Hun); by dividing the night hemisphere hemisphere transition to days morning line, the sunrise in the morning line (dawn). The arc AB in Figure 1 is the morning line. In general, in the side view, only the performance for the morning twilight line line or faint line (Figure 1); in the top view, we can see the terminator line is half the morning line and half faint line. As shown in Figure 2, the arc line AM is the faint line, and the arc BM is the morning line. In some maps, but also according to the specific requirements to determine circadian conditions, and then determine the figure in the morning twilight line is a line or faint line. The movement characteristics of 2. twilight line Every hour due to the earths rotation from west to East 15 degrees, so the terminator line kept moving from east to West 15 degrees per hour. Because the sun point moving north and south, and the terminator line always vertical to sunlight, so the terminator line to the pole as the center, with a return cycle, swinging back and forth between the poles and the polar circle, the moving range is 46 degrees 52. (1) the movement process of the terminator line in the side view In Figure 1, AB for the arc twilight line, dashed line is the regression line and the circle, the shadow part of the night. (2) overlooking the twilight movement process in line graph Figure 2 Pictured above 2, arc AB terminator, the dotted line is the Arctic Circle to the equator, the shadow part of the
