  • The apparent equatorial coordinates of the planet. That is, its apparent position on the celestial sphere, as it is actually seen from the center of the moving Earth, and referred to the instantaneous equator, ecliptic and equinox. It accounts for 1) the effect of light-time and 2) the effect of the Earth motion. See AA p224.
