Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Hi, Sorry for being daft, but there's something about the measurement of time that I don't understand. We know that two successive sunrises must be 24 hours apart for any given place. In actuality, over a season or so, this sunrise time shifts either forwards or backwards. I'm sure that people living further from the equator than I will experience this sunrise shift more markedly. Why then is it that a ghati is always 24 minutes? Why shouldn't this also be modified because BPHS says that there are 60 ghatis between successive sunrise times? Please don't think that I'm trying to pooh-pooh an established principle, but I need some explanation, that's all. I wonder what then happens to the BL too...
