Sundial time and clock time often do not agree — the equation of time allows us to correct sundial time to clock time. This video explains how to use the equation of time and a basic explanation of the issues involved.
The equation of time represents the relationship between our planets orbital geometry and time as displayed on a sundial.

tomscott.com — twitter.com/tomscott — In Trinity Buoy Wharf lighthouse in London — and a few other science museums around the world — sits Longplayer, a musical composition designed to last a millennium. How do you keep something running for that long?
