🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between apparent (true) solar time and mean solar time • Role of the actual visible Sun versus a fictitious/mean Sun in time definitions • Connection between ecliptic and celestial equator in timekeeping

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option describes time based on the real, visible Sun as you would observe it from Earth, day to day? • Which choices involve something fictitious or averaged, and which involve an actual physical body following its true path? • How does the term apparent help you distinguish between a time scale based on real motion versus an idealized or averaged motion?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly involves the actual visible Sun, not a constructed reference. • Separate answers that describe mean/average or fictitious motion from those that describe true observed motion. • Confirm your choice lines up with the common phrase apparent (true) solar time used in navigation texts.
