Dear Steve, Michael, Werner and Fabio have provided some excellent responses to your question. If you are ONLY interested in relating three ANGLES - solar longitude, solar declination and the obliquity - then this relationship is indeed all you need: sin(lambda).sin(obliquity) = sin

Dear Steven, The relation of solar declination delta(t) to ecliptic longitude lambda(t) delta(t) = ArcSin[Sin[23.44]*Sin[lambda[t]] You are interested in the relation of solar declination to time since the equinox. Your formula delta(t) = 23.44*Sin(t), with t being the time (in degrees
