🔍 Key Concepts

• Sidereal time vs. solar time (what each one is based on) • How navigators use Aries in celestial navigation • Relationship between sidereal hour angle (SHA), LHA Aries, and plotting a star sight

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is sidereal time based on the Sun or the stars, and which of these are you mainly dealing with in this question? • Which choice mentions something that is clearly tied to the star-based reference system used in celestial navigation tables? • When you work a star sight in your sight reduction tables, which special point in the sky do you use as a reference, and how is time expressed for that point?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is directly connected to stars / Aries / star positions, not the Sun. • Eliminate any choices that mainly concern apparent solar time or corrections involving the equation of time. • Recall that LHA Aries is central to star sight reductions—verify how sidereal time relates to that.
