Chapter 2 Early Astronomy Solar Calendars NTI Day 5 Astronomy Michael Feeback Go to: teachastronomy.com textbook (chapter layout) Chapter 2 Early Astronomy Solar Calendars Read the article and answer the following questions. Solar Calendars The cycles of the sky have been used to divide time throughout human history. A calendar marks a solar year — the time it takes for the Earth to return to the same place in its orbit of the Sun. The natural division of time is the day — the time it takes for the Sun to return to its highest position in the sky, or cross the meridian. Modern accurate measurements show that A solar year = 365.242199 days Notice the large number of significant figures. We know the duration of the Earth's orbit with an accuracy of better than a second! The Moon has also been used to mark time. The best measurements show that A lunar month = 29.53059 days This is the time between two occurrences of the same lunar phase, also called a synodic month. We should not be surprised that these are not whole numbers. It would be entirely fortuitous if three objects in space moved in such a way that a lunar orbit took an exact number of Earth rotations or an Earth orbit took an exact number of Earth rotations. Nor does a lunar month divide evenly into a solar year (365.24 / 29.53 = 12.37) so counting months will not give a good calendar to keep track of the seasons. The Babylonians had a very accurate calendar of 365.26 days. This number is quoted to five significant figures and differs by only about 30 minutes from the true astronomical number (review the ideas of accuracy and significant figures). Unfortunately, we inherited our calendar from the Romans, who had lost the knowledge of the Babylonian calendar. Our calendar has some very unusual features. The earliest Roman calendar, from the 7th century B.C., had only 304 days and began in mid-March. This was when the snows had melted enough for the Roman soldiers to go off on conquests. The first month was March, named after Mars the god of war. This is also the reason that the last four months of the year — September, October, November, and December — are taken from the Latin for 7, 8, 9, and 10. Our original calendar only had ten months! The early months of the year we re named after popular Roman gods. By the 6th century B.C., two early months had been added to give a year of 354 days. You can see that after only 3 years this calendar would have slipped by (365.24 - 354) × 3 = 34 days or over a month with respect to the seasons. This makes it a very poor calendar. At the height of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar. He added days to all the months to make a total of 365, and added a leap year to make an average count of 365.25 days in the year. The months neatly alternated 30 and 31 days long, except February, which had a short count. The Romans were very superstitious and February was chosen as the "bad luck" month; no Roman would travel or entertain during that month. Caesar also took the next unname d month for himself. So we have July, after Julius. The Emperor Augustus followed Caesar, and his ego dictated that he grab the next available month for himself. So we have August, after Augustus. However, in the alternating sequence his month was shorter than Caesar's month, so he arbitrarily added a day to it. Then to preserve the same sum of days, he had to add and subtract a day from the rest of the months. That is why you have to say a little rhyme to remember the number of days in each month! The Julian calendar was quite accurate. It would only lose (365.25 - 365.24) = 0.01 days per year. This error is systematic — always in the same direction — unlike a random measurement error. As a consequence, this tiny error steadily accumulated as the centuries passed, and by the 16th century the calendar had slipped by ten days. In 1582, Pope Gregory moved the date forward ten days by decree. He also added the extra rule that leap years should be skipped in century years unless the year was divisible by 100 — in other words, 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 will be. By this little trick, the Gregorian calendar has an average year that is 365.2422 days long. This is within a thousandth of a day of the astronomical number, so it will be many thousands of years before the Gregorian calendar needs adjustment. Interestingly, the United States and England waited another 180 years to make the switch, as an act of independence by these primarily Protestant countries against the "imposition" of a Catholic calendar. Religion also figures prominently in the distinction between a solar and a lunar cal endar. If biblical texts are followed explicitly, the major Christian holiday of Easter is tied to a lunar calendar and so cannot always fall on a Sunday. The Eastern Orthodox Church split from the Catholic Church over this issue in 325 A.D., and the Orthodox Jewish calendar is also lunar. All Islamic countries follow a lunar calendar. Seasonal changes are not as noticeable in the Middle East, so there is less reason to key the calendar to the Sun. Also, agriculture in the major Middle East civilizations is usually governed by irrigation from major rivers and is less sensitive to seasonal changes. All Islamic countries have a crescent moon in their flag. This is an indication that festivals and holidays depend on observations of the new moon. A lunar calendar will very quickly shift with respect to a solar calendar. Twelve lunar months give a year that is (12 × 29.53) = 354 days long. Islamic festivals such as Ramadan and the pilgrimage to Mecca therefore advance through our calendar by 11 days every year. E very 365 / 11 = 33 years they shift through an entire cycle of our seasons. This simple but deep -rooted difference in calendars is maybe one reason why Arab and Westerns cultures have difficulty in communicating. Author: Chris Impey 1.

It is used (often alongside the Gregorian calendar) to date events in many Muslim countries. It is also used by Muslims to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual period of fasting and the proper time for the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Islamic calendar employs the Hijri era whose epoch was Islamic Calendar stamp issued at King retrospectively established as the Islamic New Year of AD 622.

  • The Milesian Calendar in Short
    The Milesian calendar in short Quick description The Milesian calendar is a solar calendar, with weighted months, in phase with seasons. It enables you to understand and take control of the Earth’s time. The next picture represents the Milesian calendar with the mean solstices and equinoxes. Leap days The leap day is the last day of the year, it is 31 12m or 12m 31 (whether you use British or American English). This day comes just before a leap year. Years The Milesian years are numbered as the Gregorian ones. However, they begin 10 or 11 days earlier. 1 Firstem Y (1 1m Y) corresponds to 21 December Y-1 when Y is a common year, like 2019. But it falls on 22 December Y-1 when Y is a leap year like 2020. The mapping between Milesian and Gregorian dates is shifted by one for 71 days during “leap winters”, i.e. from 31 Twelfthem to 9 Thirdem. 10 Thirdem always falls on 1 March, and each following Milesian date always falls on a same Gregorian date.

  • How Long Is a Year.Pdf
    How Long Is A Year? Dr. Bryan Mendez Space Sciences Laboratory UC Berkeley Keeping Time The basic unit of time is a Day. Different starting points: • Sunrise, • Noon, • Sunset, • Midnight tied to the Sun’s motion. Universal Time uses midnight as the starting point of a day. Length: sunrise to sunrise, sunset to sunset? Day Noon to noon – The seasonal motion of the Sun changes its rise and set times, so sunrise to sunrise would be a variable measure. Noon to noon is far more constant. Noon: time of the Sun’s transit of the meridian Stellarium View and measure a day Day Aday is caused by Earth’s motion: spinning on an axis and orbiting around the Sun. Earth’s spin is very regular (daily variations on the order of a few milliseconds, due to internal rearrangement of Earth’s mass and external gravitational forces primarily from the Moon and Sun). Synodic Day Noon to noon = synodic or solar day (point 1 to 3). This is not the time for one complete spin of Earth (1 to 2). Because Earth also orbits at the same time as it is spinning, it takes a little extra time for the Sun to come back to noon after one complete spin. Because the orbit is elliptical, when Earth is closest to the Sun it is moving faster, and it takes longer to bring the Sun back around to noon. When Earth is farther it moves slower and it takes less time to rotate the Sun back to noon. Mean Solar Day is an average of the amount time it takes to go from noon to noon throughout an orbit = 24 Hours Real solar day varies by up to 30 seconds depending on the time of year.

Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research 3 | The Months Ordained by Allah: Reviving the Islamic Calendar Abstract The Islamic (Hijrī) calendar is the standard measure of time in the Qur’an and Sunnah,1 and plays an integral role in the lives of Muslims. It is used for annual ritual worship such as paying the alms-tax (zakāh), fasting during the month of Ramadan, and performing the pilgrimage (ḥajj). While the Islamic calendar is actively used for religious purposes, its role as one of the cornerstones of Islamic identity has waned over time to the point that many Muslims are unaware of the current month, day, and year under the Hijrī system of dating. This paper aims to understand the historical development of the Hijrī calendar and to identify the factors that caused it to decline.

The curious case of the Milankovitch calendar Nenad Gajic Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovica´ 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia Correspondence: Nenad Gajic ([email protected]) Received: 20 May 2019 – Revised: 11 August 2019 – Accepted: 23 August 2019 – Published: 26 September 2019 Abstract. The Gregorian calendar, despite being more precise than the Julian (which now lags 13 d behind Earth), will also lag a day behind nature in this millennium. In 1923, Milutin Milankovitch presented a calen- dar of outstanding scientific importance and unprecedented astronomical accuracy, which was accepted at the Ecumenical Congress of Eastern Orthodox churches. However, its adoption is still partial in churches and nonex- istent in civil states, despite nearly a century without a better proposition of calendar reform in terms of both precision and ease of transition, which are important for acceptance. This article reviews the development of calendars throughout history and presents the case of Milankovitch’s, explaining its aims and methodology and why it is sometimes mistakenly identified with the Gregorian because of their long consonance. Religious as- pects are briefly covered, explaining the potential of this calendar to unite secular and religious purposes through improving accuracy in both contexts. 1 Introduction global scientific project called “Climate: Long range Inves- tigation, Mapping, and Prediction” (CLIMAP, 1981), which aimed to reconstruct the worldwide climate history through Milutin Milankovic´ (1879–1958; see Fig.
