{n} a projection made on the meridian
A graduated scale shaped like a figure 8 and showing the sun's declination and the equation of time for each day of the year usually constituting part of a sundial
If you took a picture of the Sun at the same time each day, would it remain in the same position? The answer is no, and the shape traced out by the Sun over the course of a year is called an analemma The Sun's apparent shift is caused by the Earth's motion around the Sun when combined with the tilt of the Earth's rotation axis (From ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY)
A characteristic figure eight diagram that arises when one plots the Equation of Time versus the declination of the sun An analemma for Bloomington, Indiana is shown in figure 4
Figure-8 described by the variation of sun's altitude during course of a year
A figure-8 representing the equation of time and the variation of the Sun's altitude in the sky over a period of a year
{i} figure-eight shaped diagram that shows the sun's location on the celestial sphere at noon every day of the year (this diagram often appears on sun dials or globes, showing how to determine local time using the chart and the current position of the sun)
A scale on a terrestrial globe representing the suns declination, usually drawn on or near the equator and in a roughly figure eight shape
A scale of the sun's declination for each day of the year, drawn across the torrid zone on an artificial terrestrial globe
An instrument of wood or brass, on which this projection of the sphere is made, having a movable horizon or cursor; formerly much used in solving some common astronomical problems
