Reading the table Sundial is the equation of time: minutes and seconds the Sun stands ahead of the clock (early) or behind it (late) at mean noon. To turn a sundial reading into mean time at your longitude, take an early Sun’s minutes off the reading and add a late Sun’s. Then add four minutes for every degree you are west of your time zone’s meridian (subtract east of it), and an hour in daylight saving time.
The equation of time changes by at most half a minute a day, so a value taken at 12:00 UT holds anywhere on Earth to within about fifteen seconds. Declination is the Sun’s angle north or south of the celestial equator. Solar day is the time from one solar noon to the next, minus 24 hours; its peaks are Major and MinorLongsol and Shortsol .
Values come from NASA JPL’s DE440 ephemeris, sampled daily and read at 12:00 UT, to within about 0.15 seconds of the equation of time. Moments are listed on their UTC date. See the methodology , or download every year’s moments from the data page .
