    Summary

    Description
    English: The ecliptic longitudes of the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were calculated for every tenth day using w:JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System. The ecliptic longitude of the sun was then subtracted.

    East is to the left (as it is when looking at planets from northern latitudes). Time goes downwards, as in a calendar or agenda.

    This graph is based on a subset of the data for 2000 BC to AD 2201. The command lines for Horizons were: For the sun:
