The Microsoft Encarta 99 encyclopedia article on Solar Time contains the
following:

"The difference in the length of the 24-hr day at different seasons of the
year
can amount to as much as 16 min."

I think that they mean this to be a description of the equation of time,
but it
looks incorrect to me.

They go on to use this to explain the need for mean time.

Am I correct that this is an error?
