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?
