Record 1 1990-12-28

English

Subject field(s)

CONT

Annual aberration results from the motion of the earth in its orbit round the sun.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Astronomie
DEF

Changement apparent, de période annuelle, de la direction d'une étoile, dû à la vitesse de la Terre dans son mouvement de révolution autour du soleil.

CONT

On distingue donc l'aberration "diurne" et l'aberration "annuelle". L'aberration diurne résulte de la combinaison de la vitesse de lumière avec la vitesse de la rotation diurne de l'observateur et l'aberration annuelle, avec la vitesse du mouvement annuel.
