  زمین‌مرکزی   
zamin-markazi (#)

Fr.: géocentrique   

1) Relating to, measured from, or with respect to the center of the Earth.
2) Having the earth as a center. → geocentric coordinate system, → Geocentric Coordinate Time, → geocentric cosmology, → geocentric parallax, → geocentric system.

geo- + → center + -ic an adjective-forming suffix.

geocentric coordinate system
  راژمان ِ هماراها‌ی ِ زمین‌مرکزی   
râžmân-e hamârâhâ-ye zamin-markazi

Fr.: système de coordonnées géocentriques   

A coordinate system which has as its origin the center of the Earth.

geocentric; → coordinate; → system.

Geocentric Coordinate Time (TCG)
  زمان ِ همارا‌ی ِ زمین‌مرکزی   
zamân-e hamârâ-ye zamin-markazi

Fr.: Temps coordonné géocentrique   

The proper time experienced by a clock at rest in a coordinate frame co-moving with the center of the Earth, i.e. a clock that performs exactly the same movements as the Earth but is outside the Earth's gravity well. TCG was defined in 1991 by the International Astronomical Union as one of the replacements for Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB).

geocentric; → coordinate; → time.

geocentric cosmology
  کیهان‌شناسی ِ زمین‌مرکزی   
keyhân-šenâsi-ye zamin-markazi (#)

Fr.: cosmologie géocentrique   

A model of the Universe in which the Earth is centrally located and the Sun, planets, and stars revolve around the Earth.

geocentric; → cosmology.

geocentric latitude
  ورونای ِ زمین-مرکزی   
varunâ-ye zamin-markazi

Fr.: latitude géocentrique   

The angle between the geocentric location vector and the → geodetic equator.

geocentric; → latitude.

geocentric longitude
  درژنای ِ زمین-مرکزی   
derežnâ-ye zamin-markazi

Fr.: longitude géocentrique   

The same as → geodetic longitude.

geocentric; → longitude.

geocentric parallax
  دیدگشت ِ زمین‌مرکزی   
didgašt-e zamin-markazi

Fr.: parallaxe géocentrique   

The difference between the direction of an object as seen from a point on the surface of the Earth and the direction in which it would be seen from the Earth's center. Also known as → diurnal parallax.

geocentric; → parallax.

geocentric system
  راژمان ِ زمین‌مرکزی   
râžmân-e zamin-markazi

Fr.: système géocentrique   

An ancient model of the Universe whereby all the celestial bodies travel around the Earth in circular orbits. Eudoxus of Cnidus (c. 390- c. 337 BC), one of Plato's pupils, maintained that all objects in the sky are attached to moving crystalline spheres, with the Earth at the centre. This model is often named → Ptolemaic system after its most famous supporter, the Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy.

geocentric; → system.
