Summary
Graph showing the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/equation_of_time" class="extiw" title="w:equation of time">equation of time</a> (red solid line) along with its two main components plotted separately:
- The part due to the obliquity of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ecliptic" class="extiw" title="w:ecliptic">ecliptic</a> (mauve dashed line), i.e. the equation of time without the ecliptic; and
- The part due to the Sun's varying apparent speed along the ecliptic due to the eccentricity of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_orbit" class="extiw" title="w:Earth's orbit">Earth's orbit</a> (dark blue dash & dot line), i.e. as if the earth was turning around the sun on a circle.
