 ### The Simulation
 SIM_sun is a simulation of the Sun's movement across the sky.
 Given the location (latitude, longitude) of an observer on the
-Earth, the timezone, and a starting local time, this simulation
-calculates the position of the Sun in the sky over time.
+Earth, the timezone (offset from UTC), and a starting local time,
