These assumptions include using the latitude, longitude and elevation near the Temple Mount located in Jerusalem, using a yearly average barometric pressure of 1010 millibars, and using a yearly average air temperature of 19.4°C (66.9°F). Therefore, all times displayed relating to sunrise or sunset which are shown with a resolution in seconds, are determined based upon these atmospheric refraction modeling assumptions. </P> <P class="text"> As Jean Meeus states in <I>Astronomical Algorithms</I>: </P> <P class="blockquote"> "A change of temperature from winter to summer can shift the times of sunrise and sunset by about <B><I>20 seconds</I></B> in mid-northern and mid-southern latitudes. Similarly, observing sunrise or sunset over a range of barometric pressures leads to a variation of <B><I>a dozen seconds</I></B> in time."<BR> Jean Meeus, <I>Astronomical Algorithms</I>, Second Edition, p.101. </P> <P class="blockquote"> "The effect of [atmospheric] refraction increases when the <B><I>pressure increases</I></B> or when the [air] <B><I>temperature decreases</I></B>." Jean Meeus, <I>Astronomical Algorithms</I>, Second Edition, p.106. </P> <P class="blockquote"> "Near the horizon unpredictable disturbances of the atmosphere become rather important. According to investigations by Schaefer and Liller, the refraction at the horizon <B><I>fluctuates by 0.3°</I></B> around a <B><I>mean value</I></B> [34 minutes of arc] normally, and in some cases apparently much more ... it should be mentioned here that <B><I>giving rising or setting times of a celestial body more accurately than to the nearest minute makes no sense</I></B>." Jean Meeus, <I>Astronomical Algorithms</I>, Second Edition, p.107. </P> <P class="text"> For these reasons, actual observed sunrise and sunset times at Jerusalem may differ by as much as <B><I>one minute</I></B> due to daily variations in temperature and barometric pressure. In winter when the temperature is colder, the actual sunrise may occur earlier than projected times. Also, on a day when the barometric pressure is higher, sunrise may occur earlier. Cold temperature and high barometric pressure combined work cumulatively in causing the sunrise to occur earlier than the projected times. Torahcalendar.com only displays sunrise and sunset times to the nearest second to better illustrate the passage of time while providing a near real-time simulation of these events. </P> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN="left" STYLE="position:relative; height:155px; left:0px; top:0px; width:728px; padding:0px"> <DIV ALIGN="left" STYLE="position:absolute; left:76px; top:25px; width:577px; padding:0px; font-family:arial;font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal; color:#000000"> <IMG SRC="../ART/SCRIPTURESHOUR.png" WIDTH="577" HEIGHT="103" BORDER="0"> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN="right" STYLE="position:absolute; left:440px; top:105px; width:201px; padding:0px; font-family:arial;font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal; color:#1456C8"> <B>John 5:28-29</B> </DIV> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN="left" STYLE="position:relative; height:160px; padding:0px; left:0px; top:0px; width:950px; font-family:arial; font-size:8pt; font-weight:bold; color:#556DA6"> <DIV ALIGN = "left" STYLE="position:absolute; left:-364px; top:33px; width:600px; padding:0px; font-family:arial;font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; color:#000000"> <IMG SRC="../ART/SCROLLBOT.gif" WIDTH="506" HEIGHT="113" BORDER="0"> </DIV> <DIV ALIGN="right" STYLE="position:absolute; left:0px; top:20px; width:713px; height:140px; padding:0px; font-family:arial; font-size:7pt; font-weight:bold; line-height:11px; color:#707070"> <div ALIGN="justify" STYLE="position:absolute; left:220px; top:0px; width:471px; height:140px; padding:0px; font-family:arial; font-size:7pt; font-weight:bold; line-height:11px; color:#707070"> <p class="normal"> TorahCalendar.com <A HREF="../ARCHIVES.asp#copyright"> Copyright © 2008 through 2024 </A> All rights reserved.
