Function: qiblaAngle()

qiblaAngle(lat, lng): number

Defined in: index.ts:46

Qibla bearing in degrees clockwise from true north.

Uses the forward azimuth formula from spherical trigonometry. Result range: [0, 360).

Parameters

lat

number

Observer latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90).

lng

number

Observer longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180).

Returns

number

Bearing in degrees clockwise from north (0 = N, 90 = E, 180 = S, 270 = W).

Throws

If latitude is outside [-90, 90] or longitude outside [-180, 180].

Example

qiblaAngle(40.7128, -74.006);  // ~58.49 (New York)
qiblaAngle(51.5074, -0.1278);  // ~119.0 (London)
