SOLAR TIME<br />

LOCAL SOLAR TIME (LST) & LOCAL TIME (LT)<br />

Twelve noon local solar time (LST) is defined as when the sun is highest<br />

in the sky.<br />

Local time (LT) usually varies from LST because of the eccentricity of the<br />

Earth's orbit, and because of human adjustments such as time zones and<br />

daylight saving.<br />

LOCAL STANDART TIME MERIDIAN (LSTM)<br />

The Local Standard Time Meridian<br />

(LSTM) is a reference meridian used<br />

for a particular time zone and is<br />

similar to the Prime Meridian, which is<br />

used for Greenwich Mean Time.<br />

MAGISTER TEKNIK ELEKTRO<br />

The LSTM is calculated by:<br />

LSTM = . Δ<br />

15 0<br />

TGMT<br />

where ∆T GMT is the difference of the Local Time (LT) from Greenwich<br />

Mean Time (GMT) in hours. 15°= 360°/24 hours
