Thank you so much for keep updating the knowledge in maritime studies, I can't tell how much your videos supported my study. We shall all appreciate the contribution of you in the industry!

[@SteeringMariners]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback buddy, really appreciate it:)

[@KaiTakApproach]

Your English is outstanding, which is critical for these kinds of technical explanations. Thank you so much for not only tackling the difficult challenge of explaining Equation of Time, but for using such precise language and clear steps. Such excellent teaching reveals a truly intelligent mind, in your native language let alone a second language.

[@SteeringMariners]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, greatly appreciate it:)

[@TheAziriusShow]

thank you for the explanation. it was clear and precise. i had trouble understanding this and a lot many concepts in the online 2M classes due to the pandemic because of the unavailability of a decent internet connection with me at the time. This clears many things up.

[@TheAziriusShow]

@@ima7300 No. I just do a quick search, usually i just find 1 or 2 videos on relevant content. I individually search for topics. Try MarinePedia application, you'll get some good written material there.

[@akshdeepsharma9252]

Sir isn't equation of time in minutes and seconds. @ 14:30 you say equation of time in hours. I guess you said it by mistake. But after that all solution will come wrong ( i.e where it should be seconds we will consider it as minute) Please correct me if my observation was wrong . And thanks for the video sir. 😄

Thanks sir 💯

[@robinj.9329]

Historically, all ancient Civilizations used only the "True Sun" for time keeping. In America where I live, the "Standard Time" we use today actually developed out of the system developed and used by the Rail Roads, to keep track of trains and prevent deadly accidents! And it was originally called "Railroad Time"!!! I think it became in general use in the United States 🇺🇸 before the 1880's or so. Sorry, I'm an old man, but not quite that old! 😅

Hello sir, you said mean sun takes 24 hrs a day so mer pass according to it will br during 1200 noon right.But in the video you said in the almanac we uses mean sun for mer pass it should be true sun right ?

[@yashvardhanmishra4430]

Well understood sir... Just one doubt that what is the significance of equation of time being negative or positive.. I mean what difference does it make ? Kindly help

This is a very good question, I will surely make a video on it :)

[@skipperry63]

The equation of time is in minutes and seconds. I don't know how seconds turned into minutes in your solution. For the 13th (1200 hrs), the value given is 13 min 48 sec and for the 14th (0000 hrs) it's 13 min 55 sec. The difference between the two times is only 7 seconds not 7 minutes. I could be interpreting this incorrectly. Please explain.

[@sashachip]

you are correct.

[@ThunderboltWisdom]

It looks like you are correct. It looks like it's labelled for minutes and seconds meaning that the figure to work with should be 7 seconds (and not 7 minutes). A quick calculation would give the answer 4 seconds anyway, without having to do the last calculation.

[@niks17]

But the answer will be the same which is 13 m and 51.8 seconds.

[@wijdanrazefi5924]

thanks a lot for such a great explanation sir. but i'm sorry, i just frustrated when i search on browser it says EoT is equals to AS - MS, while in this video it says MS - MT, how can i get this? someone can help me please? thank you

[@rajkamalshukla4716]

Sir i have a doubt here, initially u said bcoz the mer pass while considering true sun keeps changing that's why we use true sun which keeps a constant time... But in almanac later on as we saw.. The time for mer pass is different for subsequent days which is actually mean sun time it means the mean sun time also keeps changing.. It's not constant., conversely the true sun mer pass is 1200 . Pls explain

[@thebachelors3141]

dear mr. rajkamal shukla (basti) please go through the video again to clear your doubts

[@sgshendeyt]

In your solution you perhaps inadvertently called the values 13 48, 13 55, and 13 52 as "hours". Shouldn't they have been called "minutes"?

[@sashachip]

This dude mixed up minutes for seconds. The actual Eq. of Time for Oct 13 @ 1830 is 13min 52sec, not 13hrs 52min as mentioned in the video.

[@surajkrishnan3600]

Great🎉

The video was perfect up until 15:00, then you raced ahead and didn't explain anything, and the math is a mess and hard to follow. I'm absolutely not knocking your video, it's superb.

[@parthajyotikalita6714]

Still I am confused what is RAMS and HAMS?

[@rakshithrao800]

Sir you told mean sun is fictional and then how can it's mer pass value changes it must be 12 and true sun's value must change right

[@SteeringMariners]

Excellent question, will make a separate video on it as it requires some explanation with drawing:)

[@rakshithrao800]

Yeah sir tha🙏 you so much

[@Zappa8891]

I believe you are computing 7 minutes when it should be 7 seconds? Great video, anyway.

[@chank4122]

Sir , the equation of time is given in minutes and second . How did u take 7 as a minute to calculate the equation ?

[@ThunderboltWisdom]

It was the difference between the two times given in the almanac. To get 1830 hours on the 13th you get the times between 1200hours on the 13th and 0000hrs on the 14th and subtract one from the other giving 7 minutes. Edit: it looks like it should have been 7 seconds NOT 7 minutes.
