    In order to satisfy the requirement of the polarized light celestial positioning for the high-precision solar spatial position, one method based on the Rayleigh atmospheric polarization pattern is proposed. The experimental results indicate that, this method is capable of obtaining relatively reliable geographic position information with an average longitude error of 0.251° and latitude error of 0.171°. Although the precision of this method needs to be further improved, this method possesses important application value as a supplement to other positioning methods.
