The Equinoxes and Solstices calculator module
Equinoxes and Solstices
The Equinoxes and
Solstices module calculates the date and time of an
equinox or solstice for a given year. You specify which
event (Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox,
or Winter Solstice) should be investigated, and the year.
Then press the Compute button to
obtain the date and time of the event, and the length of
the corresponding season, in days.
There is a batch mode for this module. To use it, simply
generate an input file whose lines each contain a year
for which the Equinox and Solstice data will be computed.
Then specify the input and output filenames, and press the
Run button to generate the output
file. Each line in the output file contains the input year,
the date and time of each event, and the length of each
season.
