An orbiting body's mean longitude is calculated L = Ω + ω + M, where Ω is the longitude of the ascending node, ω is the argument of the pericenter and M is the mean anomaly, the body's angular distance from the pericenter as if it moved with constant speed rather than with the variable speed of an elliptical orbit.
Solar longitude, commonly abbreviated as Ls, is the ecliptic longitude of the Sun, i.e. the position of the Sun on the celestial sphere along the ecliptic.It is also an effective measure of the position of the Earth (or any other Sun-orbiting body) in its orbit around the Sun, [1] usually taken as zero at the moment of the vernal equinox.

Lang'ata is a predominantly upper middle-class residential suburb of Nairobi in Kenya.The suburb consists of many smaller housing developments, referred to as estates. They include Nairobi Dam, Otiende, Southlands, Ngei, Jambo estate, Onyonka, Madaraka Estate, Kutch Prant, Rubia, NHC Langata, Akiba, Sun Valley, Royal Park and many ot
The time when the Sun transits the observer's meridian depends on the geographic longitude. To find the Sun's position for a given location at a given time, one may therefore proceed in three steps as follows: [1] [2] calculate the Sun's position in the ecliptic coordinate system, convert to the equatorial coordinate system, and
Newcomb gives the Right ascension of the fictitious mean Sun, affected by aberration (which is used in finding mean solar time) as [10] τ = 18 h 38 m 45.836 s + 8 640 184.542 s T + 0.0929 s T 2. Authors citing this expression include McCarthy & Seidelmann (p. 13) and the Nautical Almanac Offices of the United Kingdom and United States (p. 73).

Sun Valley Airport covers an area of 100 acres (40 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (18/36) measuring 3,700 x 42 ft (1,128 x 13 m). For the 12-month period ending May 2, 2007, the airport had 14,400 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 39 per day. At that time there were 22 aircraft based at this airport: 91% single ...
