I’m trying to understand the equation of time
All diagrams that I have seen (like the attached) are only two dimensional. For the sake of simplicity, the earth tilt is ignored. According to a two dimensional drawing, it will always require more than a 360 degree revolution for a point on the earth to face the sun again. However the earth is tilted. Does this mean that sometimes it takes more than 360 to make a revolution and sometimes it takes less? Or does this mean that it always takes more than a 360 degree revolution. However because of the tilt, the additional spin required to face the sun again is greater on some days than on others. I think its the later answer but I'm not sure. -- Cheers Donald 0423 102 090 This e-mail is privileged and confidential.
