It is always the problem to express (and to compress) a lot of notions in 2 or 3 sentences.Two solutions. To look for a more or less long sentence introducing EoT and the yearly shift in meridian crossing, while keeping the "solar time" article the same length. That would add a new article : "Equation of Time". Perhaps the best would be to suppress the unclear (for people of this mailing list) sentence; the remaining text is sufficiently clear and exact for an general encyclopedia such Encarta. But it is up to Bill Gates, not to me.
