Discussion of Problem 2054. Astronomy

Answers a bit off
Posted by Al.Cash 10 May 2015 17:30
For some reason I get answers that are very close but not equal to the ones in example:

14.495347194
0.000000000
56.489368526

Maybe I misunderstood something in the model?

There's no any day of year where you can get such answers with latitude = 56.
Only if the time differs about 15-20 seconds from the time of original test data.
So it seems you choose slightly different Vasya's location because of wrong time calculation.
Or maybe the proximity to the correct answers is just a coincidence, and your Earth-moving model is totally wrong.
What answer do you get for the test
56 24
21 jun 0
21 jun 1
...
21 jun 23 ?

At least they are symmetric and reach maximum at 12 hours...
Could you please post the correct coordinates for 0 and 12 hours and I'll go from there.

I have no idea what exactly it could be, because any misunderstanding of the model would cause much greater error in the answers. Check the constants you use. Maybe one of them has little inaccuracy or doesn't have enough precision.

Found my mistakes. I handled rotation around Earth's axis totally wrong.

First, its period is not 24 hours but a little shorter.
Second, the fact about closest meridian at midday doesn't imply that Vasya's location is the closest point to the Sun at his latitude.
