Since the length of the day as determined by the Sun is variable, it is desirable to introduce a fictitious body, the "mean Sun," whose right ascension increases at a (very nearly) uniform rate given by the Sun's mean motion. The "mean solar time" is the hour angle of the mean Sun plus 12 hours. 3, record 1, English, - mean%20solar%20time
