Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Graphs of precession period and precession per sidereal day vs latitude. The sign changes as a Foucault pendulum rotates anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. The example shows that one in Paris precesses 271° each sidereal day, taking 31.8 hours per rotation. The background map is from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap-World6-Equirectangular.svg .
