The slope of the Earth's axis (or obliquitas) and its relation to the rotation axis and the orbital plane |
When the Earth's rotation relative to a fixed star, called the day of stars by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), is 86.164.098903691 seconds from the time of the average Sun (UT1), or 23h 56m 4,098903691s. The time of Earth's rotation relative to the precession or movement of the vernal equinox, called sideris day, is 86.164,09053083288 seconds from the time of the average Sun (UT1) (23h 56m 4.09053083288s) to 1982. Thus, the sideris day is approximately shorter 8 , 4 ms from star day. The average solar day length in seconds SI is calculated by IERS for the period 1623-2005 and 1962-2005.
In addition to meteors in the atmosphere and low-orbiting satellites, the main movement of celestial bodies on Earth is to the west, at a rate of 15 ° / hr = 15 '/ min. For celestial bodies near the equatorial space, its movement is seen in the diameter of the Sun and the Moon every two minutes; from the surface of the Earth, the size of the Sun and the Moon are more or less the same.
