back to boardAnswers 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? Re: Answers a bit off 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 ? Re: Answers a bit off Posted by Al.Cash 11 May 2015 16:07 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. 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 4.214527110 11.374704540 19.267892795 27.563494585 35.903413441 43.838560055 50.725478497 55.623901463 57.439281000 55.623901463 50.725478497 43.838560055 35.903413441 27.563494585 19.267892795 11.374704540 4.214527110 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 Edited by author 11.05.2015 16:35 Edited by author 11.05.2015 16:47 Re: Answers a bit off Wow, they're again very close to my answers. Here they are: 0 0 0 0 4.2133420379 11.3735281948 19.2668088249 27.5625655432 35.9026841855 43.8380585719 50.7252091429 55.6238233024 57.4392810000 (totally correct :)) 55.6238233024 50.7252091429 43.8380585719 35.9026841855 27.5625655432 19.2668088249 11.3735281948 4.2133420379 0 0 0 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. Re: Answers a bit off Posted by Al.Cash 12 May 2015 17:55 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. |
