The sun is not only the main giver of life, it also controls the energy, helps it to be used correctly and effectively. Humanity noted this feature of the main star many centuries ago.
To live in harmony with the luminary means to be in a balanced interaction with nature itself. In the modern world, few people think about the importance of this issue, but in this article it will be possible to recall it both from an astronomical point of view and from an emotional-psychological one.
Local sunny time
A few millennia ago, people were not able to travel constantly and often lived all their lives in one place without changing their energy aura. Thanks to this, the body did not know such stress as changing the time zone, from birth to life, only the annual solar cycle of the place of birth was recorded. It has long been proven that the regulation of activity in accordance with the rhythms of the luminary has a positive effect on the effectiveness of any work and on well-being. Each settlement lived in past centuries according to its own clock; local solar time is the most correct.
Solar energy, man and the seasons
It is recommended to recall how the villagers used to live.
In spring, the activity of people increases. The sun lingers longer and longer over the horizon. At that time, field work always began, animals and birds, having sat in the pens over the winter, were longer in the wild, and work began at full speed on the improvement of their housing and land. In summer, the energy return reached its maximum, the people not only worked actively, but also actively entertained.
With the onset of autumn, preparations began for the period of least solar activity, the collection of fruits, berries and grains came to an end, reserves for a long cold winter were created. In the period of cold and snow, the activities of people, like the stars, were calm. Everyone preferred to spend most of the time in their cozy houses, closer to the Russian stove, only sometimes this calm was interrupted by winter joys, for example, riding a sleigh or playing snowballs. And then the cycle was repeated at first. It should be noted that the regime of a person’s day at that time completely coincided with the sunny one: when darkness fell, they rested, and woke up at dawn.
What now?
Scientific and technological progress gradually estranged people from the natural rhythm of nature and the stars. Currently, everything is mixed up, the regime and rhythms have shifted in time, and life has accelerated many times, and the attitude to the solar cycle has become more free. The introduction of technical innovations on the one hand simplified the life of a person, but on the other hand made his life inactive physically, but more active in terms of nervous activity. The development of cities and megacities often makes you live in a perpetual race. The concept of "solar time" has lost its significance over many years.
However, genetics has not gone anywhere, fatigue of such a life inspires people to visit nature, forests, and water bodies as often as possible. Because it is communication with nature that is able to restore the energy lost in a continuous bustle. And the regime of the day, close to sunny, is able to add stability to a harmonious mood.
Time zones are not always related to real time.
With the development of trade relations and the transport system, regions and entire countries began to unite in time zones, where, regardless of the locality, the clock should show a single time. On the one hand, this is convenient, but on the other, time zones are far from always located symmetrically.
The standard time zone width is 15 degrees latitude, however, some of them turned out to be wider and larger, and some narrower. Therefore, the time that the clock shows does not always correspond to the true natural in them, and in some cases the discrepancy is more than one hour?
What is true sunny time?
This is the time at which the true onset of noon is taken into account in accordance with the sundial in the area. If we take the true solar time as a basis, noon during the year experiences a constant shift and can deviate from the average position, which is taken at 12:00 for 15 minutes in both directions. It should be noted, with 12.00 hours the zenith of our star coincides only on the central meridian of any time zone.
Sun time systems
Average. It is based on the average noon time in a particular area without taking into account annual time deviations.
Worldwide. This is the time of the main watch meridian - Greenwich.
Half-length. A single time used for places in the range of 15 degrees latitude from each other. This is the latitude of the geographical (and not political) time zone.
All solar time systems are important for astronomical observations.
Lunar time
For some peoples, it is considered even more important than the sun. This is due to the fact that the Moon controls the water, all ebbs and flows are fully consistent with its rhythms. Similarly, the night luminary also controls the fluid in the human body, affecting well-being and emotional state. Plants also did not escape the influence of our natural satellite, because they all have sap inside. Over a long history of observations, a calendar was created with a description of lunar days and phases. Most often it is used for gardening.
The lunar cycle consists of 29 days, is divided into 4 phases.
- The first phase: from the moment of the new moon to the first semicircle.
- The second phase: from the first semicircle to the full moon.
- Third phase: from the full moon to the semicircle on the opposite side.
- Fourth phase: from a semicircle to a new moon.
In addition, there is such a thing as lunar days, days. They have different systems of deductions. According to one system, they are counted from the moment of the new moon, adding to it an interval of 24 hours. According to another system, the count of the day occurs from one sunrise to the next. The interval between them is longer than that of the sun, it ranges from 24.5 to 25 hours.
Seasonal Clock
People know about him from the beginning of the last century. It was first used in Europe, then this idea was accepted by other countries of the world, including Russia. The hands of the clock moved an hour forward in the spring, and in the fall they returned. This was explained by the fact that in this case, daylight hours are used more effectively. Over the years, it turned out that this belief is doubtful, in addition, it is also a stress for the body: in addition to the effect of surprise, people are forced to live in desync with the solar cycle. In recent years, many have begun to deny the importance of seasonal watch transfers, preferring stability. Maybe this is right, because often the solar time in this case becomes distorted to an even greater extent.
The unity of two stars
In most countries, their time is a single system of life in harmony with nature. As mentioned earlier, the solar cycle determined the seasonal activity, and the cycle of the night visitor determined everyday and household activity. By the way, do not forget that the lunar calendar is also used in Orthodoxy to calculate such a great holiday as Easter.
Solar and lunar times affect us differently. It was established that living in accordance with the rhythms of the stars is very useful. This makes a person more disciplined, consistent, more emotionally stable. First of all, it is useful for children, because their body is least protected from stresses that undermine the immunity that has not yet formed. It is especially important to observe a sleep pattern , chronic lack of sleep has become a common occurrence, and this is not a good sign. A full sleep tends to cure many diseases.
Lunar time is responsible for the emotional state. The sun can also affect a person.
From time to time, activity takes place on it, during which powerful plasma ejections occur that affect the magnetosphere of our planet. At this time, many people may feel worse. On the Internet you can find out the degree of solar activity in real time and prepare in advance for its bursts.
Conclusion
The sun is our native star, which is still fraught with many mysteries, however it is it that has the ability to charge and inspire. Solar time is an amazing system that helps to make a person's life more structured and orderly.
