Description
Summary:A computer software that determines the rising and setting times of the major planets in our Solar System was encoded. It was written in Pascal programming language and compiled in Turbo Pascal 7.0. The data can be displayed in two ways. One is in text mode where the times are actually shown for the date entered. It can also offer the user an option to obtain data in an interval of a week. And the other is in graph mode wherein information is presented in graphical form. The data given can be in an interval of a week, a month or a year. The software also has an option to produce a hard copy of the reports through a printer. The concepts involved in the determination of the necessary figures for the computation of the rising and setting times were discussed in detail. Some supplementary topics on the subject were also included.
