The lit percentage changes through the day, by up to ten points. This one is for noon, which is why another site can show a slightly different number for the same date, and both be right.

How we calculate this
Upper limb of the sun, standard refraction (34′), semidiameter 16′, observer at sea level — the US Naval Observatory convention. Rounded to the nearest minute rather than truncated, which is why a site that cuts the seconds off can show a minute earlier.
