I tried searching and found only a bit. I've only been using Tasker
for a day, but LOVE it. So here's what I want to do. When I was on
vacation, I took a really cool picture of the beach during the day. I
also took a really cool picture at the same spot just as the sun set.
So, I want my phone to cycle between the two wallpapers during day and
night. Before, I was looking at wallpaper apps with 12 hour timers,
but that didn't work out.

I read the sunset data walkthrough on the site. So I guess I can get
the data for sunrise and sunset (like, say 5:58 and 8:01). Is there
any way I can have Tasker switch wallpapers at sunrise and sunset each
day? I already have it set wallpapers at 7am and 8pm each day, but I
think it would be cool if it was exact. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

You need to have a trigger and since sunrise/sunset times are
different every day you cannot have it static.
My best guest is: find calendar with sun times and make calendar
trigger on those events, as calendar events should be simple harder
part might be to find calendar with your location specific times

On the note:
Find "Other calendars", choose Add interesting calendars, go to "More"
and there will be sunrise/sunset calendar to subscribe for your
location ;)
Thanks Google :)
