Equation of Time
I am preparing a presentation on the Equation of Time and have been
trying to find a clear description, preferable with diagrams, of the adjustment due to obliquity. The explanation at the National Maritime Museum http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/conWebDoc.351 only makes sense if you already know the answer The best I could find was the page at http://www.wallingfordclock.talktalk.net/Sidereal%20Time.htm but I still find it inadequate. The example of the bus going down the incline is good to show the slowdown but I cannot find anything appropriate to explain the speeding up. Has anyone seen and better presented explanations? -- Les Desser (The Reply-to address IS valid) |
