The difference in the lengths of a mean solar day and a sidereal day is about

A

1 min

B

4 min

C

15 min

D

56 min

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
1 solar year = 366.25, 1 sidereal day = 365.25 solar day
1 day = `24 xx 60 = 1440` min , the diff is `(1440)/(365)` = 4 min

1 mean solar day=____

Mean solar day is the time interval between two successive noon when sun passes through zenith point (meridian). Sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transit of a distant star through the zenith point (meridian). By drawing appropriate diagram showing the earth's spin and orbital motion, show that mean solar day is 4 min longer than the sidereal day. In other words, distant stars would rise 4 min early every successive day.
