| THE EQUATION OF TIME E O T |
| This is a PDF file that discusses why the sun appears slow or fast, the two major components, how they are each sine waves that make a curve allowing the real sun apparent time to be synchronized with mean time or clock time. It is an extract from the main book ILLUSTRATING SHADOWS. This file is about 150k and is virus free - checked by the latest Norton as well as PCcillin. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD the explanatory document - around 120k and supplement 1 by itself on an astronomically accurate EOT dissertaion. Having been asked to explain the EOT, here it is! Extracted from the book which I hope you will buy! Even clearer discussion on the change in angular movement from the north/south to the east/west axes, and vice versa, at the equinoxes and solstices. The pamphlet and the spreadsheet (which is invoked by the main sheet here) have the astronomical formulae needed to develop the EOT table for any year, from way back when to the future, and to show the low and high peaks in the EOT, and to show the julian days of the solstices and equinoxes for that year. The pamphlet shows those formulae in Excel ready format, and the actual spreadsheet has a few interesting goodies in it also. See also the tables for the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 as well as 1904 and 2104 |
