For
New York e.g. must below next be
entered
at longitude degree 74 and with the
minutes 0 !
New York (US) is west (w) of
Greenwich.
(in
case a wrong date/time of 27 Febr. is
indicated,
which rarely may happen for a
disturbance,
then please recalculate or reload the
page)
Having
a standard-time clock at home or a
wristwatch
thus set to the sun requires,
if you want to keep it within a margin of
a couple of minutes,
that you correct the time
about
once a week
according this tempometer,
Not doing this can the difference quickly
amount
to half an hour (from Nov. 5 to Febr. 5
e.g.).
To remind you thereof is the cookie of the
Tempometer
that keeps your settings, thus set to
eight days
so that after that period the Tempometer
again
needs to be set to the longitude.
Correcting
for the sake of nature
can best be done with natural
regularity:
on Cakra-sundays e.g., see below:
To
check this by hand you need to consult
the pages about
the equation of
time
and the FCO-calendar.
For calculating solar time for another
date and/or time,
go to the java-implementation
for it.
This
is an historical page: it offers,
since 10 Nov. 2005, the first running
Tempometer on the
internet.
