DIVISIONS OF TIME.
Measurements of the Days,
Months
and Years.
A "solar day" Is measured by the ro
tation of tbe earth upon Its axla mid la
of different lengths, owing to the elllp
tlclty of tbe earth's orbit and other
causes, but a "mean solar day" Is
twenty-four hours long, aa reckoned by
tbe timepieces.
An astronomical day commences at
noon and Is counted from tbe first to
the twenty-fourth hour. A "civil day"
commences at midnight and Is count
ed from the first to the twelfth hour,
and then; again commences with one
and finishes with twelve. A "nautical
day" la reckoned the same as the "civil
day," only that tbe reckoning Is begun
nt noon Instead of tit midnight.
A "calendur month" vurles from
twenty-eight to thirty-one days. A
"mean lunar month" is twenty-ulne
days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes,
two and two-thirds seconds. A "year"
la divided Into 3(15 days. A "solar
year," wiiirh is the time occupied by
the sun in passing from one normal
equinox t the other, consists of 304.
24244 days, wbieh Is equal to 305 days,
6 hours, 48 minutes, 4l).5.'!0 seconds.
A "Julian year" ia 3(15 dcys even. A
'Gregorian year" la 3(15.2425 daya.
Tbe error In the Gregorian mode of
time reckoning amounts to but one day
in each 3,571 years.
