Abstract

AbstractAstronomical constants such as the length of the solar year, sidereal and synodic periods of revolutions of the Moon and five brighter planets have been computed using the system of astronomy in ancient and mediaeval India and a comparison made with their modern values. The modern values of the Moon’s inequalities have been compared with that of the earlier Hindu astronomical reckonings. Also, the Equation of the Centre of the Sun as determined in the period 500 A.D. to 1150 A.D. has been discussed in relation to corresponding modern values.
