It is almost incredible that you would comment on this matter when the
practical transfer of the pre-Copernican equable 24 hour day to its
heliocentric adaption to axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour is
beyond you.

Do you wish me to explain again how the Equation of Time,which provides
the core principles,straddles both the pre-Copernican principles behind
the 24 hour day and its heliocentric adaption.

The only astronomical story worth knowing this year is how those core
principles are used by everyone on the planet even as they are denied
by really ignorant people like you who have found themselves the
inheritors of the fudging by 17th/18th century cataloguers.

How does it feel to adhere to an exceptionally dumb and astronomical
incompetent value for axial rotation* despite the fact that the
transfer from the pre-Copernican principles to the heliocentric
adaption for independent and constant axial rotation is easy to
comprehend ?. That you manage to live with an incompetent
astronomical value for a year (never mind 3 centuries) definitely
highlights your indoctrination rather than your intelligence.
