Now you can add this task to any profile you want to use sunrise and sunset data. This will not automatically get the data for you, you need something to call this task.
I use this in conjunction with the weather changing backgrounds to set the Night condition in that profile.
If you need any help please find me (NebulaOcton) on this thread

The following is Joeviocoe's version using the same principle as the Original. But using earthtools.org instead of yahooapis.com (simpler date/time formatting ) as well as a fix for time calculations for the Calendar Insert action (Tasker 1.1+).
The Sunshine - Check.prf.xml profile includes two tasks (Sun Data and Sun Calendar). Sun Data will set the %Sunrise and %Sunset variables… and Sun Calendar will add those sunshine times to your Google calender called "Tasker" (must be created first).
The Sunshine.prf.xml profile is just an example of how to use a Google Calendar entry to trigger tasks (for this, I control screen brightness).

See the files link below for an XML export of most of this that you can import into Tasker.
