DEFINITION OF TIME:
the indefinite continued progress of existence and
events in the past, present, and future regarded
as a whole.
It is also considered as a point of time as
measured in hours and minutes past midnight or
noon.
APPARENT TIME
This method of time determination is resolved with
respect to the apparent sun or the real sun.
This method employs the operation of a sun dial.
The time required for an apparent revolution of the
earth around the sun is called as a solar day.
It begins at when the true sun starts to appear on the
lower branch of the observers meridian.
It is also referred to as sun time.
SIDEREAL TIME
A sidereal day at any place on the earths surface begins
when the vernal equinox is on the observers meridian
and above the horizon.
This means that after 24 hours the vernal equinox is
again at meridian passage and 1 sidereal day passes.
It is considered as a star time.
An apparent solar day is 3 minutes and 56 seconds
longer than a sidereal day which is 23 hours and 56.1
minutes
