Unreferenced date December 2009 Geocentric coordinates are an Earth centered system of locating objects in the solar system in three dimensions along the Cartesian coordinate system Cartesian X, Y and Z axes. They are differentiated from topocentric coordinates which use the observer s location as the reference point for bearings in altitude and azimuth . Both systems, however, share a common difficulty in that the Earth is constantly moving, which requires the addition of a time component to fix objects. For nearby stars astronomers use heliocentric coordinates, with the center of the Sun as the origin. The reference plane can either be aligned with the Earth s equator , the plane of the ecliptic or the plane of the Milky Way galaxy. The distances involved are so great compared to the relative velocities of the stars that for most purposes the time component can be neglected.

Unreferenced date November 2007 Geocentric Coordinate Time TCG Temps coordonn e g ocentrique is a coordinate time coordinate time standard intended to be used as the independent variable of time for all calculations pertaining to precession , nutation , the Moon , and artificial satellites of the Earth . It is equivalent to the proper time experienced by a clock at rest in a coordinate frame co moving with the center of the Earth that is, a clock that performs exactly the same movements as the Earth but is outside the Earth s gravity well . It is therefore not influenced by the gravitational time dilation caused by the Earth. TCG was defined in 1991 by the International Astronomical Union , in http www.iers.org MainDisp.csl?pid 98 133 Recommendation III of the XXIst General Assembly . It was intended as one of the replacements for the ill defined Barycentric Dynamical Time TDB . Unlike former astronomical time scales, TCG is defined in the context of the general relativity general theory of relativity . The relationships between TCG and other relativistic time scales are defined with fully general theory of relativity relativistic metric tensor general relativity metrics . Because the reference frame for TCG is not rotating with the surface of the Earth and not in the gravitational potential of the Earth, TCG ticks faster than clocks on the surface of the Earth by about 7.0 10 sup 10 sup about 22 milliseconds per year . Consequently, the values of physical constants to be used with calculations using TCG differ from the traditional values of physical constants. The traditional values were in a sense wrong, incorporating corrections for the difference in time scales. Adapting the large body of existing software to change from TDB to TCG is a formidable task, and as of 2002 many calculations continue to use TDB in some form. Time coordinates on the TCG scale are conventionally ... on average. Time measurement and standards Category Time scales de Geocentric Coordinate Time sl Geocentri ni ... more details
This article was extracted from Solstice in December 2011. unreferenced date December 2011 A geocentric view of the seasons presents an explanation of the year s four season s from the frame of reference of a stationary Earth with the Sun revolving around it. These pictures show such a perspective as follows. They show the day arcs of the Sun, the paths the Sun tracks along the celestial dome in its Diurnal motion diurnal movement . The pictures show this for every hour on both solstice days. The longer arc is always the summer track and the shorter one the winter track. The two tracks are at a distance of 46.88 2 23.44 away from each other. In addition, some ghost suns are indicated below the horizon, as much as 18 down. The Sun in this area causes twilight. The pictures can be used for both the northern and southern hemispheres. The observer is supposed to sit near the tree on the island in the middle of the ocean. The green arrows give the cardinal directions. On the northern hemisphere the north is to the left, the Sun rises in the east far arrow , culmination culminates in the south to the right while moving to the right and sets in the west near arrow . Both rise and set positions are displaced towards the north in summer, and towards the south for the winter track. On the southern hemisphere the south is to the left, the Sun rises in the east near arrow , culminates in the north to the right while moving to the left and sets in the west far arrow . Both rise and set positions are displaced towards the south in summer, and towards the north for the winter track. The following special cases are depicted. On the equator the Sun is not overhead every day, as some people think. In fact that happens only on two days of the year, the equinoxes. The solstices are the dates that the Sun stays farthest away from the zenith , only reaching an altitude of 66.56 either to the north or the south. The only thing special about the equator is that all days of the year, solstices ... more details

It contains three elements Ethnocentrism, Polycentrism and Geocentrism. The importance of the EPG Model is mainly in the firm s awareness and understanding of its specific focus. Because a strategy based mainly on one of the three elements can mean significantly different costs or benefits to the firm, it is necessary for a firm to carefully analyze how their firm is oriented and make appropriate decisions moving forward. In performing an EPG analysis, a firm may discover that they are oriented in a direction that is not beneficial to the firm or misaligned with the firm s corporate culture and generic ...
