The Equation of Time is a concept in astronomy that describes the difference between solar time (as indicated by a sundial) and mean time (as kept by a clock). It accounts for the irregularities in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, which cause the solar day (the time it takes for the Earth to rotate so that the sun returns to the same position in the sky) to vary throughout the year.
