Equation Of Time

The equation of time is 16m 00s and the mean sun is ahead of the apparent sun. If you are in the central meridian of your time zone, at what zone time will the apparent sun cross the meridian?


Solution:

This is the rule in solving this kind of problem;

- If mean sun is ahead of the apparent sun, the equation of time is added to LAN 12-00

- If mean sun is behind of the apparent sun, the equation of time is subtracted to LAN 12-00

So the solution will be 12-00
                                +     16m
                                   1216H
