Q
Apparent time
A
25
Time given by the hour angle of the true sun.
26
Local Civil Time
27
Time for the meridian of the observer.
28
Standard Time
29
Time at a specific standard meridian.
30
Sidereal Time
31
Time indicated by a star.
32
Equation of Time (e)
33
Difference between apparent and local civil time
34
Geodesy
35
That branch of applied mathematics which determines by
36
observation and measurement the exact position of points and figures
37
and areas of large portions of the earth's surface
the shape and size
38
of the earth
and the variations of terrestial gravity
39
Geometric Geodesy
40
Deals with mathematically defined surfaces (ellipsoid
41
coordinate systems
et.) which best approximate the shape of the
42
Physical Geodesy
43
applied in seals with the earth's observable geophysical properties as
44
Geodetic Astromination of geographic positions and directions
45
nature neighboring stations (azimuths) from measurements on
46
Satellite (Cosmic) Geodesy
47
Determination of geographic positions from measurements
48
on artificial satellites
49
HORIZON
50
The horizontal plane of the observer.
51
VERNAL EQUINOX
52
It occurs every 21st of March.
53
SUMMER SOLSTICE
54
It occurs every 21st of June.
55
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX
56
It occurs every 21s of September.
57
WINTER SOLSTICE
58
It occurs every 21st of December.
59
ALMUCANTAR
60
Rather known as parallels of altitude
61
Intersection of the sphere and of a plane parallel to the
62
horizon
63
ALTITUDE
64
The angular distance of the body from the horizon as
65
measured along the vertical circle.
66
Complement of zenith distance
67
CELESTIAL POLE
68
The apparent axis of rotation of the sun. It is the line
69
through the sphere's center perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.
70
DECLINATION
71
The angular distance
north or south of the equator
72
measured along the hour circle from the equator to the body.
73
Complement of polar distance.
74
ECLIPTIC
75
The apparent annual path of the sun with the earth as its
76
center.
77
ECLIPTIC POLES
78
Intersection of the celestial sphere and of the line
79
perpendicular to the ecliptic containing the center of the earth.
80
ECLIPTIC PARALLEL
81
Intersection of a plane parallel to the ecliptic and of the
82
celestial sphere.
83
ECLIPTIC MERIDIAN
84
Intersection of the sphere and of the plane perpendicular to
85
the ecliptic containing the ecliptic poles.
86
EQUATOR
87
A great circle perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
88
EQUINOCTIAL COLURE
89
A great circle through the celestial poles and the vernal and
90
autumnal equinox.
91
EQUINOX
92
Intersection of the ecliptic and the equator.
93
A period when daytime is as long as nighttime.
94
GREAT CIRCLE
95
The intersection of a sphere and of a plane passing through
96
the center of the sphere.
97
HOUR ANGLE
98
The angle between any arbitrary hour circle and a reference
99
hour circle such as the meridian or equinoctial colure.
100
HOUR CIRCLE
101
Great circle having the celestial poles as its elements.
102
A great circle containing the poles
thus perpendicular to
103
the celestial equator.
