more shifted Explanation: O movimento de translação da Terra faz que as estrelas apareçam em posições deslocadas com o passar dos dias (aprox. 1 grau por dia, ou 90 graus por estação), tomando-se como referência um mesmo horário de observação. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-31 18:30:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tirado da ajuda de um software de astronomia (Stella) The reason for wishing to advance by this unit may not be immediately apparent. A sidereal day is slightly less than a solar day, being approximately 23h 56m. It is the time taken by the STARS to return to their exact positions of the night before. You thus have a way of holding the stellar backdrop steady while you watch the bodies within our Solar System shift against it. The fleetest mover is of course the Moon, due to proximity, followed by the Sun and the inner planets, whose \'dance\' can be very instructive to watch. The outer planets shift at a much more sedate pace. |
