58 Geocentric parallax and the figure of the Earth In later sections of this book we
calculate the coordinates of the Sun, the Moon and other members of our Solar
System. These coordinates are the ones which would be observed from the ...

Orbital Motion, Fourth Edition
The topocentric equatorial coordinates of the object must be transformed now to
the centre of the Earth to get rid of this geocentric parallax due to the finite size of
the Earth. In figure 3.5 the observing station at O on the Earth's surface, distance
...
Certainly today, geocentric parallax has a less fundamental role; it is still,
however, an essential positional effect that must be allowed for in a celestial
object's coordinates. 4.7 The effect of geocentric parallax on right ascension and
declination ...

A Treatise on Spherical Astronomy
The symbols already given apply to the geocentric parallax of the sun. By the
addition of a dash to 'n- we denote the corresponding quantities for the moon,
thus '11-! is the geocentric parallax of the moon, i.e. the angle which the centre of
the ...

This routine converts the geocentric hour angle and declination to the apparent
hour angle and declination, and vice-versa, making allowance for geocentric
parallax. The equatorial coordinates of members of the Solar System calculated
in ...

GEOCENTRIC PARALLAX. § 102. The bodies of the solar system being
comparatively near to the earth, a change in a spectator's place on the earth's
surface gives to them a sensible parallactic motion on the surface of the celestial
sphere, ...
