Glossary
The World Watch™ program allows you to see the time in any of
over 475 cities and locations throughout the world. These clocks
account for the currently known daylight savings times of the
cities. The large world map displayed in the main window shows an
earth with a light / dark pattern representing the areas of the
earth currently experiencing daylight and darkness. A number of
different views of the world are available. You can choose to view
the entire world or one of a number of choices of zoomed views.
World Watch™ allows you to add your own cities and locations,
called Custom Cities, to the cities pre-defined by the program. The
program allows you to choose whether to display the international
dateline, landmass and international borders, latitude and longitude
lines, clocks, and cities on the map. The program is also usable as
an updating wallpaper when running minimized. The No Titles feature
allows you to use the entire window to view the map, without the
title bar and menu bar.
The World Watch™ Screen Saver is a separate program, which
displays the World Watch™ map on your screen after a period of
inactivity. Windows® 95/98/NT can be set up to automatically start
a screen saver after a few minutes of inactivity on the keyboard or
mouse. The World Watch™ screen saver uses all the settings you
choose while running World Watch™. For example, choose Africa from
the Map Menu and quit World Watch™. The next time the World Watch™
Screen Saver becomes active, it will show the map of Africa. All
other settings for colors, city names, clocks, etc., from World
Watch™ are also used in the World Watch™ Screen Saver. For
information on setting up the screen saver, see Set up Screen Saver.
If the screen saver doesn't seem to work, see Help! Questions and
Answers.
The axis around which the earth rotates passes through the North
and South Poles. This axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees from the
axis of revolution of the earth around the sun. It takes one year
for the earth to complete a revolution around the sun. To an
observer on earth, the sun appears to move north and south during
the year because of the tilt between the rotation of the earth and
the plane of revolution of the earth about the sun. During the
summer solstice, around June 21, the sun appears directly overhead
at a latitude of about 23.5 degrees north. This latitude line is
called the Tropic of Cancer. Similarly, during the winter solstice,
around December 21, the sun appears directly overhead at a latitude
of 23.5 degrees south, called the Tropic of Capricorn. The sun
appears to be over the equator during the spring and fall equinox.
World Watch™changes the latitude of its "sun" every day
to account for the north and south movement of the sun. Solar days
are slightly shorter during some parts of the year than others due
to the elliptical nature of the orbit of the earth around the sun.
World Watch™also takes this into account.
The border between daylight and darkness is shown at the point
where the center of the sun is on the horizon. Atmospheric
refraction is not accounted for. Therefore, some portions of the
darkness area may be experiencing twilight or even a few minutes of
daylight. The curve should be accurate to within about 10 minutes of
sunset. Accordingly, you should account for mountains and hills.
This information has been tested against the United States
Government Almanac systems.
The earth spins at a speed, which causes the sun to appear to
move through 15 degrees of longitude every hour. Therefore, time
zones are about 15 degrees apart. If the World Watch™screen shows
darkness falling about 15 degrees east of your location, you know
that you have about an hour of daylight left.
-
Custom City: a city or location for which you can enter
the data needed by World Watch™. After you have entered the
data, the city is treated just like the major cities pre-defined
by World Watch™. You can view it on the map or view a clock
showing the time in the city.
-
Daylight Savings Time: refers to a seasonal clock
adjustment that is observed in many countries. During the summer
months, clocks are moved ahead one hour in order to extend the
evening daylight. The country is said to be in daylight savings
during the time when the clock has been moved ahead by one hour.
In the Northern Hemisphere, daylight savings is typically
observed from April through October. Southern Hemisphere
countries may observe daylight savings from about October
through April. Some areas of a country may observe daylight
savings while others do not. For example, most of the
continental United States observes daylight savings time.
However, parts of Indiana do not.
-
Equinox: refers to the time of the year when the sun
appears directly over the equator. This occurs once in spring
and once in autumn. The spring equinox is around March 21, and
the autumn equinox is around September 23.
-
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): refers to the time at 0
degrees longitude. This longitude line passes through Greenwich,
England. Time zones to the west of GMT are considered to have a
positive offset from GMT, while those to the east have a
negative offset. For example, Central Standard Time is +6 hours
from GMT, while Eastern European Time is -2 hours from GMT.
-
Hovering Data Hovering Data: refers to a pop-up
information screen that results from resting your mouse on a
special colored dot on the World Watch map.
-
Latitude: the number of degrees north or south of the
equator a point on the earth lies. The value can range from 0 to
90 degrees. The value is described as degrees north or south in
order to avoid ambiguity. For example, the latitude of Los
Angeles is 34.03 degrees North. The latitude of Harare, Zimbabwe
is 17.43 degrees South.
-
Longitude: is the number of degrees east or west of
Greenwich, England a point on the earth lies. The value can
range from 0 to 180 degrees. The value is expressed as degrees
east or west in order to avoid ambiguity. For example, the
longitude of Los Angeles is 118.15 degrees West. The longitude
of Harare, Zimbabwe is 31.02 degrees East.
-
Screen Saver: a program activated by Windows® 95/98/NT
after a specified time delay during which there is no keyboard
or mouse activity. Pressing any key on the keyboard or moving
the mouse deactivates the screen saver.
-
Solstice: refers to the time of the year when the sun
is as far north or south as possible. The sun is as far north as
possible on the summer solstice around June 21. The sun is as
far south as possible during the winter solstice around December
21.
-
Status Bar (95/98/NT): shows the latitude and longitude
position of the mouse pointer as it moves across the World Watch™
map.
-
System Date and Time: your computer contains a
battery-powered clock that keeps track of the current date and
time even when the computer is switched off. The date and time
known to your computer are called the system date and time; they
keep track of file creation dates and serve programs such as the
Windows® Clock and World Watch™. Some word processing
programs also use this clock to automatically insert the current
date in a letter being written. Because World Watch™is not the
only program using the system date and time, it is important
that you periodically update it to keep it reasonably accurate.
-
Time Delay: the Screen Saver Time Delay is the amount
of time, which the system is idle before Windows®, activates
the screen saver. If you set the time delay for 8 minutes, you
will see the screen saver after 8 minutes of not using the
keyboard or mouse.
