I imagine it is close to impossible to avoid looking at the relationship between the moving Earth along with the other planets as they pass between the Earth and the Sun (Venus and Mercury) or move behind the Sun as they appear moving slower or faster
Saturn will show up as a dawn appearance soon enough as it is currently directly behind the Sun from our slower moving point of view.
It is a frontier for those who care about solar system research, the relationship between planetary motions and Earth sciences along with many other productive and creative points of departure.
The Earth takes 365 1/4 days to orbit the Sun as a timekeeping measurement using
the 24 hour clock and only the 24 hour clock. The year is not 365 1/4 days as stated,
the year, as a timekeeping term can only be 365 days or 366 days in a leap year.
I think this trips up observers more than anything else as a day/night cycle corresponds to one rotation, however, a year does not correspond to one circuit of the Sun.
Most contributors have been kind enough to leave comments as they are and that suits me regardless.epagomenae before the new year" Canopus Decree 238 BC
The reference for an orbit of the Earth was based on the annual change in position of the stars with the first dawn appearance of the stars every 10 days (Egyptian Decans) making 36 separate helical appearances plus 5 days left over-
".. on account of the procession of the rising of Sirius by one day in the course of 4 years,.. therefore it shall be, that the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end, so one day shall be from this day after every 4 years added to the 5
That is the first major refinement of human timekeeping and should be cherished by all without objection.terms as everything followed from that exquisite observation above whether the Egyptian astronomers or contemporary satellites.

Contemporary satellite imaging represents those heliacal risings clearly as they are a product of the orbital motion of the Earth so those who have yet to affirm this demonstration of the Earth's orbital motion cannot comment further on timekeeping
The 'year' as a timekeeping term cannot be 365.25 days as the proportion of rotations to orbital circuits is drawn from the 1461 rotations for 4 orbital circuits of the circuit or 365 1/4 rotations per circuit. The timekeeping format turns thoseproportions of rotations circuit into the manageable three years of 365 days and one year of 366 days. A year is not one orbital circuit of the Sun as the term 'year' means two distinct 365/366 day values.
