A menu solar day is the average or mean of all the apparent solar days in a year. Mean solar time Is that shown by a well regulated clock or watch, while apparent solar time Is that shown by a well constructed sun dial. The difference between the two at any time is the equation of time and may nniodlit to sixteen minutes and tWon ty-one seconds. The astronomical day begin* at noou and the civil day at the preceding midnight. The sidereal and menu solar days are both Invariable, but one day of tho latter Is equal to 1 day " minutes and 50dj5T» seconds of the farmer. Sun Light on Tap A comfort worth having.
