    This document discusses different types of days and time measurement systems. It defines a solar day as the time between two transits of the sun across the same meridian. A sidereal day is the time it takes the earth to complete one rotation relative to distant stars. A sidereal day is about 4 minutes shorter than a solar day. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) synchronizes atomic time with astronomical time, keeping the difference less than 1 second. Time zones divide the earth into 24 zones of 15 degrees each to standardize time conventionally around the globe.

    TIME

    Lecturer Tevfik ARSLAN

    SOLAR DAY
    Solar

    Day : This is defined as the


    interval of time between two
    successive transits of the sun across
    the same meridian. The Solar day
    begin when the sun is on the
    observers anti meridian. At that
    moment the time on observervers
    meridian is 0000 hrs.

    DAYLY APPARENT
    MOTION
    The

    earths rotation on its axis causes


    the sun and other celestial bodies to
    appear moving across the sky from
    east to west each day.
    This motion is the daily apparent
    motion of sky objects.

    SIDERAL DAY
    If

    a person located on the earths equator overhead of


    a very distant star, he/she would be measuring the
    period of the earths rotation. This period is called
    sideral day, and a little bit shorter than the solar day.
    For to complete solar day earth must rotate on its
    axis through more than 360.

    sideral

    day, and a little bit shorter than the solar day.


    For to complete solar day earth must rotate on its
    axis through more than 360.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
    SIDERAL AND SOLAR DAY
    in

    order to bring
    sun, the sun overhead
    again. This is due to the earths
    revolution around the sun.
    Solar day is longer 4 minutes than
    sideral day.

    FUNDAMENTAL SYSTEM OF
    TIME
    Mean

    time : Use of the apparent sun as


    a time reference results in time of noncostant rate, because irregular motion of
    earth both during rotation and revolution.
    To obtain costant rate of time, the
    apparent time is replaced fictitious
    mean time. Mean time accepted

    FUNDAMENTAL SYSTEM OF
    TIME
    as

    avarage value of apparent time.


    Universal time : is the mean solar
    time on the Greenwitch meridian.
    The universal time determened
    directly from astronomical
    observations is denoted UT0.

    FUNDAMENTAL SYSTEM OF
    TIME
    Greenwich

    Mean Time :
    Because of the precession of earth
    axis,geographical pole changes, so it is
    necessary to make an correction to UT0.
    This correction is 15 millisecond. After this
    correction UT1(Greenwich mean time is
    obtained.

    ATOMIC TIME
    Atomic

    time is based on transitions


    in the atom. The radioactif cesium
    element is used for atomic time.
    Its(cesium) cycles is measured
    during radiation and definite
    number of cycles is accepted as
    one second.
    Atomic clock is highly reliable.

    COORDINATED TIME
    Although

    we have reliable atomic


    time, we have still some problem
    about coordination between
    astronomic time and atomic time.
    Because astronomic time is not a
    time to be repeated always in same
    interval. !!!!!!!

    COORDINATED
    UNIVERSAL TIME (UTC)
    Astronomic time and Atomic time is
    synchronized each other and the difference
    between them is never allowed more than 1
    second. The adjustment is made in every six
    months with Atomic clock. This
    synchronized time is called UTC and is
    equal to Greenwich Mean Time (UT1)

    TIME AND ARC


    One day represents one complete rotation of
    the earth. Each day is divided into 24 hours of
    60 minutes; each minute has 60 seconds.

    TIME AND ARC


    1 d = 24 h = 360,
    4 m= 1 = 60
    4 s = 60

    60 m = 1 h = 15
    1m
    = 15
    1s
    = 15

    ZONE TIME
    At sea, as well as ashore, watches and
    clocks are normally set to some form
    of zone time (ZT). At sea the nearest
    meridian exactly divisible by 15 is
    usually used as the time meridian or
    zone meridian.

    ZONE TIME (EXAMPLE)


    If the the time at Greenwich meridien is
    12 31 GMT, what is the time at the ship
    sailing position 20 33N, 073 16W

    RULE-1
    W meridians are signed always (+) when
    we go from ZTGMT.
    E meridians are signed always (-) when we
    go from ZT GMT.
    From GMT ZT reverse signs are used.

    RULE-2
    Dividision of longitude to 15 gives
    the zone. If remainder is more than
    7 30, use the upper value of zone.

    SOLUTION
    7316 W : 15 = 4, remainder = 13 16
    Z(-5)
    ZT = 12h 21m GMT - 5 = 7h 21m ZT.

    LOCAL MEAN TIME


    It is exact time on meridyen. It is
    used in Nautical Almanac. The
    Suns rising,meridian pass.,
    setting times and other necessary
    times are given as LMT in
    Nautical Almanac.
