Difference between Declination and Lunar standstill

Declination vs. Lunar standstill

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle. At a major lunar standstill, which takes place every 18.6 years, the Moon's range of declination, and consequently its range of azimuth at moonrise and moonset, reaches a maximum.

Similarities between Declination and Lunar standstill

Declination and Lunar standstill have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric refraction, Axial precession, Celestial equator, Celestial pole, Celestial sphere, Ecliptic, Latitude, Northern Hemisphere, Right ascension, Season, Southern Hemisphere, Tropic of Capricorn.

Atmospheric refraction

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height.

Axial precession

In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis.

Celestial equator

The celestial equator is the great circle of the imaginary celestial sphere on the same plane as the equator of Earth.

Celestial pole

The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the celestial sphere.

Celestial sphere

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere with an arbitrarily large radius concentric to Earth.

Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun follows over the course of a year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

Latitude

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Right ascension

Right ascension (abbreviated RA; symbol) is the angular distance measured only eastward along the celestial equator from the Sun at the March equinox to the (hour circle of the) point above the earth in question.

Season

A season is a division of the year marked by changes in weather, ecology, and amount of daylight.

Southern Hemisphere

The Southern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is south of the Equator.

Tropic of Capricorn

The Tropic of Capricorn (or the Southern Tropic) is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the December (or southern) solstice.
