Friday is the longest day of the year north of the equator, where the solstice marks the start of astronomical summer.

"At the solstice, the angle between the Sun’s rays and the plane of the Earth’s equator, called declination, appears to stand still," read the Farmer's Almanac website."This phenomenon is most ...

What struck me most about the stories the kids told was just how much knowledge he managed to pass on to his children during his lifetime. In a way, I was wishing that I had a handy Dad who had taught ...

Right ascension and declination. The first coordinate in the equatorial system is declination, the angle between the object and the celestial equator (measured along the object’s hour circle).

The sun's changing declination is what determines whether the sun's rays strike us at a low angle or more directly. Declination on a celestial globe is analogous to latitude on a terrestrial globe.

The birds experienced artificially adjusted values of magnetic inclination (the dip angle of the field lines) and declination (the difference between the direction to the geographic and magnetic poles ...

They artificially altered the inclination and declination in a way that corresponded to a position in Neftekamsk, Russia, 2700 kilometres away. “That’s way out of their direction,” says Packmor.

Statistical analysis of low latitude spread F is presented for three different longitudinal sectors from Jicamarca (12°S, 76.8°W, −2.5° declination angle) from 2001 to 2016, Ascension Island (7.9°S, ...
