The exooss of a mean solar above a sidereal day is there- fore 3" 561.555 of sidereal time, or 3" 59.909 mean solar timo. Sinco a sidereal day, hour, oto, is shorter than a solar day, hour, etc, a given interval will contain more sidereal than solar days oF hours, eto. Hence it follows from (1) that any intervat expressed in mean solar time may be changed into its sidereal equivalent by multiplying by 410027879; and from (2) that any sidereal interval may be changed into its mean solar equivalent by multiplying by 0.9972606. If then wo put ‘M=any mean solar interval, ‘S mequivalent sidereal interval ; then ‘8 = 1.0027379 I= (1 + 0.0027379) Mf, Mz 0.972696 = (1 —0.0027304) 5. 0.027379, «' =0.0027304, Put and wo have S=M+cM; M=S—cS. ® ‘The values of eBf and e!$ may be taken from the annexed tables, which are reduoed from a larger table in the American Ephemeris, viene Caogle
