Stationary planets - how long?
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 3:43 am
Just a quick technical question.
When a planet is stationary, how long do you count it as stationary? Just right on that day, +/- a few hours or +/- a day?
My guess would be that the whole time the planet is within the stationary degree, it can be considered stationary. The faster moving planets will not take very long to move out of that degree, but the slower moving planets might take a few days or even possibly weeks to move from the stationary degree... this is why I am asking.
