Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (b) Local solar temperature

Easy explanation: Local solar time is ALSO known as local apparent time which is the time used for calculating the hour angle. The local solar time is OBTAINED from the standard time OBSERVED on a clock by making two corrections. First, is taking different longitudes between the locations and second is correction due to small perturbations of earth’s orbit and rate of rotation.
