What is time based on the sun called?
Apparent Solar time..
What are the advantages of solar eclips?
There is no actual advantage of a solar eclipse. The sunlight will be blocked for such a little time, that solar power will not be stopped for long.
How can a person set the time on Casio Atomis Solar watch?
A person cannot set the time on Casio Atomic Solar watch because it adjusts the time by itself. That is the feature of all atomic watches. They are radio-controlled therefore, no need to adjust. Besides, the watch is running on solar energy.
Is a Solar Storm dangerous?
A solar storm can be dangerous only if it reaches Earth's surface! Ozone should protect us, but it probobly will not this time.
What is problem that is likely to arise using solar time?
The problem that is likely to arise using solar time is that the time is going to be all over the place. For example in Boston it is going to be 4 something and then in New York it is going to be only 17 minuts later. So that complicated the time. That is why time zones are better.
What is solar time standard time?
the average of the mean solar time for a particular time zone
During which two seasons is apparent solar time ahead of clock time?
Apparent solar time is ahead of the clock in Spring and Fall. Apparent solar time is seen while using a sundial.
Are there different types of solar time?
It very much depends on what is meant by solar time. Not really, it's fairly clear. There are 2 types of solar time: 1) "Apparent solar time". At any particular place this is called the "local apparent solar time", because it depends on longitude. 2) "Mean solar time". This averages out the natural variations of "apparent solar time". (The word "mean" is just a way of saying "average".) This too is depends on longitude of course, but time zones are used to cover a wide area, for convenience.
Why is apparent solar time not used to measure on a clock?
Because, when using "apparent solar time", the length of a "solar day" varies slightly during the year. (This is because the Earth's orbit isn't exactly circular and the Earth's axis is tilted.) "Clock time" is based on an average (or "mean") of these day lengths, called the "mean solar day". So clocks use "mean solar time". (By coincidence, on the date the question was answered (14th April) "apparent solar time" and 'clock' time are synchronised.) There's another reason for apparent solar time being different from clock time. "Clock time" uses time zones. So, over a wide area, the time on a clock equals the "mean solar time" at a particular, defining, longitude.
What is equation of time?
the distance between the solar time i.e Mean time apparent solar time is stated as equation of time. M.t-A.t=equation of time
What is time based on the average year round length of the apparent solar day?
Standard solar time
A person knows the solar time on the prime meridian and the local solar time. what determination can be made?
Longitude
What is time called that is based on the average length of a day throughout a year?
Mean solar time

What device is used to keep track of solar time?
Devisce used to keep track of solar time
What is a solar time?
at each place ,whenever the sun was directly overhead , it was considered noon this was called solar time.
What are the disadvantages and disadvantages for solar energy?
it is environment friendly. But, the solar cells need service and repair time to time
