Erasmus Reinhold used Copernicus' theory to compute the Prutenic Tables in 1551, and gave a tropical year length of 365 solar days, 5 hours, 55 minutes, 58 seconds (365.24720 days), based on the length of a sidereal year and the presumed rate of precession. This was actually less accurate than the earlier value of the Alfonsine Tables.

The Earth's axial tilt changes slowly over thousands of years but its current value of about ε = 23.44° is nearly constant, so the change in solar declination during one year is nearly the same as during the next year. At the solstices, the angle between the rays of the Sun and the plane of the Earth's equator reaches its maximum value of 23.44

The calendar's epoch (first year) corresponds to the Hijrah in 622 CE, which is the same as the epoch of the Lunar Hijri calendar but as it is a solar calendar, the two calendars' year numbers do not coincide with each other and are slowly drifting apart, being about 43 years apart as of 2023.
