The outer ring shows the sun's arc and daylight. Colored bands around it represent twilight stages and golden hour. Inside that, the moon ring shows when the moon is above the horizon. The two innermost rings track the lunar cycle and the seasons of the year. There's also an optional breath ring for guided breathing. The in-app guide covers each ring in detail.
