  2. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The United States Naval Observatory states "the Equation of Time is the difference apparent solar time minus mean solar time", i.e. if the sun is ahead of the clock the sign is positive, and if the clock is ahead of the sun the sign is negative. [6] [7] The equation of time is shown in the upper graph above for a period of slightly more than a ...

  3. Diurnal motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diurnal_motion

    It is caused by Earth's rotation around its axis, so almost every star appears to follow a circular arc path, called the diurnal circle, [1] often depicted in star trail photography. The time for one complete rotation is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds – one sidereal day.

  4. Motions in the time-frequency distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motions_in_the_time...

    Time stretching is doing scaling only on the time axis, leaving frequencies the same. When a < 1 {\displaystyle a<1} (the most common case), it's narrowing on the time axis, reducing the area. STFT, Gabor:

  5. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    An example response of system to sine wave forcing function. Time axis in units of the time constant τ. The response damps out to become a simple sine wave. Frequency response of system vs. frequency in units of the bandwidth f 3dB. The response is normalized to a zero frequency value of unity, and drops to 1/√2 at the bandwidth.

  6. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time–distance_diagram

    A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

    1.8 ks: The time slot for the typical situation comedy on television with advertisements included 2.28 ks: The duration of the Anglo-Zanzibar War, the shortest war in recorded history. 3.6 ks: The length of one hour (h), the time for the minute hand of a clock to cycle once around the face, approximately 1/24 of one mean solar day

  9. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    The Lorentz transformation relates two inertial frames of reference, where an observer stationary at the event (0, 0) makes a change of velocity along the x-axis. As shown in Fig 2-1, the new time axis of the observer forms an angle α with the previous time axis, with α < ⁠ π / 4 ⁠.
