We have assumed above that the declination of the sun is the same at the same date in different years.
The most favourable times are at the end of June and at the end of December, when the sun's declination is almost stationary.
Throughout the remainder of the year the change of declination is so slow that we may safely neglect it.
And this thionite way-station, then, was somewhere near right ascension seventeen hours and declination plus ten degrees!
In the year 1660, however, the declinationwas nothing, while before that time it was easterly.
The north, pole of the needle now lies to the west of the true meridian; the declination is westerly.
The direction of the magnetic needle in London, which is called the magnetic meridian, encloses an angle of 24° with the astronomical meridian, this angle being called the Declination of the needle for London.
Tables of the Declination of the Sun, see Luciano Cordeira in the Boletim of the Lisbon Geographical Society, 1883, p.
This line, along which the magnetic declinationis nil, extends to a point in Lake Erie, 2 deg.
Trades, which always extend somewhat further south, as the sun's southern declination increases, we had to traverse regions where necessarily we encountered variable winds, owing to the increased area of the Trades.
To-day the sun has reached the limit of his northern declination and now he will start to come south.
By it the right ascension and the declination of a star may be measured in a single observation.
The instrument is portable; and a complete determination of latitude, affected with the mean of the declination errors of two stars, is effected by two micrometer readings and four level readings.
In most cases there is a marked similarity between the curve of magnetic declination and that of the north-south earth current.
Originally it was supposed by Airy that whilst rapid movements in the declination and north-south current curves sometimes occurred simultaneously, there was a distinct tendency for the latter to precede the former.
Lines drawn upon a map so as to pass through places of the samedeclination are called isogonic lines.
At all points in the United States and Canada east of the agonic line the declination is west, at points west of the agonic line the declination is east.
Declination is due to the fact that the geographical and magnetic poles do not coincide.
It was now the rainy season north of the equator; and though it did not rain in the plains, the change in the declination of the sun had for some time caused the action of the polar currents to cease.
Do you know enough about the angle of declination of the bullet that hit the President to judge at all whether these two angles of declination are consistent?
Also it would, since the bullet followed the line ofdeclination of the fifth rib, it would make the ribs placed in a too slanting position.
We know that the angle of declination was a downward one from back to front so that I think this is consistent with the angle of declination of the wound that the Governor sustained.
You have indicated a certain angle of declination on this chart here which the Chief Justice has.
Would you give us in your hand the area of declination from the entry to the---- Dr.
Are you speaking of the angle of declination in the President's body?
I think the declination of this line is a little too sharply downward.
Inasmuch as Sangamon County usually sent a Whig delegation to the legislature, this declination could hardly have cost him many hours of painful deliberation.
The declination of Vice-President Breckinridge to come to the aid of Douglas was a rebuff not easily laughed down, though to be sure, he expressed a guarded preference for Douglas over Lincoln.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the longitude, as well as the declination of the sun, influences the direction and limits of the trade-winds.
Another impediment to our attempt to get nearer to the zero point of minimum declination presented itself in the far from healthy state of the ship's crew.
But for the moon to reach the zenith of a place that place must not exceed in latitude the declination of the luminary--in other words, it must be comprised between 0° and 28° of north or south latitude.
Steptoe's declination of the nomination and his recommendation of Young soon followed.
The changes of position of the horizontal-force magnet were as large and as frequent as those of the declination magnet, but the vertical-force magnet was at no time so much affected as the other two instruments.
In the mother country (England) the magnetic declination has varied by fully 14 degrees during the period.
The regularity of the horary changes in the declination of the magnetic needle and in the atmospheric pressure remained undisturbed between the tropics on the days when earthquakes occurred.
But these instances of its use are too frequent, its declination too varied, and in both genders, to admit the idea that they are the result of error or casualty, although some lexicographers seem to reject it.
But can any one believe that these words, thus arranged in the declination of this pronoun, could ever have had a common origin?
For setting out from infancy we increase not equally, or regularly attain to our state or perfection: nor when we descend from our state, is our declination equal, or carrieth us with even paces unto the grave.
By the rising of the Pleiades, denoting the beginning of Summer, and by that of the Dog-star, the declination thereof.
For the days increase or decrease according to the declination of the Sun, that is, its deviation Northward or Southward from the Aquator.
And this inequality in thedeclination of the Sun in the Zodiack or line of life, is correspondent unto the growth or declination of man.
The declination of a Star we call its distance from the Equator.
Towards us they change their disposition according as they are on the cardinal points or in declination therefrom.
Now a star culminates for some simultaneously with its declination for others; and it could not at the same time experience joy and sadness, anger and benevolence.
The tables employ three variables--the latitude of the locality measured to the nearest degree, the LHA as determined above, and the declination of the moon measured to the nearest 30 minutes of arc.
Naval Observatory in three volumes, each covering four months of the year, the Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) and the declination of the moon may be obtained for any ten-minute interval of the date in question.
The extent of the declination occasioned by a battery, depends upon its power, and the distance of the uniting wire from the needle.
Is that to say that there was a 45-degree angle of declination from the point of origin to the point of impact, from the point of origin of the bullet where the bullet came from a gun until the point where it struck President Kennedy?
Is the angle of declination that you--one sees there from in and out approximately the angle you think at which the bullet was traveling at the time of impact and exit?
