Time Frame of Sun on Ecliptic Plane vs Equitorial

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between Earth's rotation on its equatorial axis and the Sun's orbit on the ecliptic plane, which is tilted 23 degrees relative to Earth's spin. It raises questions about whether the time frame differs when considering the ecliptic plane versus the equatorial plane. Sidereal time is identified as the time frame relevant to the ecliptic, while standard time pertains to the equatorial frame. Participants seek clarification on how to equate these two time systems and how to derive ecliptic longitude from sidereal time. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurate astronomical calculations.

The Earth rotating on its equitorial axis spinning on its poles. The Sun has its orbit on the ecliptic 23 degrees away from the spin if the Earth. Is the time frame different at the Earth on the Ecliptic plane rather than the Equitorial?

What?

Please rephrase your question.
 
Since Sidereal time is the time frame for the Elliptic and standard time is time frame for the Equitorial. How do you equate the two?
 
How do I find out the Ecliptic Longitude from the Sidereal Time?
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Can the signal WOW be explained by the maser effect?'

This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
