L’Equazione del Tempo

Nella seguente tabella ciascun valore quotidiano dell’equazione del tempo è il risultato della media aritmetica dei veri valori calcolati in un periodo di 400 anni, dal 2001 al 2400 (durata media anno: 365.2425d), riferiti alle 11:00 TD di ogni giorno.

I valori dell’equazione vengono espressi sia nel formato minuti-secondi sia in quello minuti.decimali.

La scelta di considerare il periodo di 400 anni, anziché di 10, 20 o 100 ecc. non è certo casuale: com’è noto 400 sono gli anni dopo i quali si ripete il ciclo alla base dell’attuale calendario gregoriano, che con 365.2425d di media all’anno si tiene al passo con l’anno tropico (365.2422d) in maniera tutto sommato ragionevolmente semplice e precisa.

La scelta di riferire il periodo agli anni 2001-2400, invece, deriva unicamente dal trovarci attualmente in quest’epoca, con lo sguardo al futuro…
