Now Google Web Search give the sunrise and sunset time if you search like this :http://www.google.com/search?q=sunrise:<city_name> . How can I use this to provide this functionality on my website?

I was looking for a similar service and found http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm#sun

Here's an example for New York for the 4th December:

  • Their website provides information as to how to calculate these yourself if you were interested: `Sunrise/Sunset Times The sunrise and sunset times are calculated using a PHP script using formulae from www.srrb.noaa.gov [NOA06]. The times given do not currently automatically take account of daylight saving time (summer time). To take DST into account, make sure the "DST" box is checked.` – ryanjdillon Dec 23 '12 at 11:15
