Earth Rotation: Secular Variations, Solar Eclipses: History Of Astronomy

Scientific paper

34 timing solar eclipse observations recorded in The Twenty-Four Histories during the period from BC 2nd to AD 8th century are analysed. Among them two solar eclipses were recorded twice respectively, and the date of another one is incorrect. Out of all the 32 solar eclipse observations 14 magnitudes of eclipse and 45 times of phase of eclipse are examined. The results are as follows: all times were recorded correctly except the only one, No. 35, whose error is about one hour. According to these observations the authors probe into the tendency of the secular changes in the rotation of the Earth.
