solar time

Thus with respect to solar time, the tides get later each day.

But eventually it became clear that three effects are involved, when measured in terms of mean solar time.

In the early 19th century, Portugal adopted mean solar time.

Many methods have been used to simulate mean solar time.

A sundial shows the current solar time during the day.

Many areas have its time two hours ahead of the mean solar time.

Solar time is calculated with reference to the relative position of the sun.

But why expend all this effort to help the moon tell solar time?

Solar time seemed to be almost unhelpful in our standardized world.

If the gear ratios are correct, the clock shows solar time.

The fundamental unit of solar time is the day.

Most later equation clocks, made in the 18th Century, directly display solar time.

This is one of the largest differences in the world between standard time and mean solar time.

Mean solar time is the hour angle of the mean Sun plus 12 hours.

The intersection of the two threads' shadows gives the solar time.

Local solar time has a significant impact on planning the daily activities of Mars landers.

Before the adoption of time zones, people used local solar time.

See solar time for more information on the difference to the apparent solar day.

In the Russian Empire, most of the nation observed solar time.

This results in their crossing the equator at the same two local solar times every orbit.

Most places on Earth use a time zone which differs from the local solar time by minutes or even hours.

This aggregates to the angular equivalent of mean solar time + 12 hours.

Mars Pathfinder used the local apparent solar time at its location of landing.

Today's atomic clocks have a much more constant rate than the Earth, but its star clock is still used to determine mean solar time.

It not only tells time, but gives the phases of the moon, the solar time and the temperature.
