Local Standard of Rest

Okay, so I have an astronomy/astrophysics exam tomorrow and I understand everything except for the local standard of rest. Could someone please explain it to me? Thanks!

Don't come here with that crap. I'VE ALREADY USED GOOGLE. I also looked in my textbook and asked my professor about it and I'm still not understanding it, so I came here to ask people who know what they're talking about to see if they can help me.

Local Standard of Rest

Is this what you're talking about? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_standard_of_rest
I don't know what you might be confused on. Do you have any specific questions?

You obviously didn't because if you had you would have found the wikipedia article which gives a clear and unambiguous explanation.

Wikipedia was one of the first places I looked, and I didn't understand it.

I understand it now, I was just browsing my posts and decided to reply. Thank you so much for the offer though! :)
