And the use of daylight saving / summer time actually brings the time of sunrise closer to constancy in places that use it, so in a sense this actually underscores the relationship of civil time to solar time even though in the technical sense of agreement with the time of midday it causes the local time to diverge further from precise solar mean time. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
