However, the book On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon, which has long been ascribed to Aristarchus, says that he calculated the distance to the sun to be between 18 and 20 times the distance to the Moon, whereas the true ratio is about 389. 174.

However, its practical limitations — it requires the sun to shine and does not work at all during the night — encouraged the use of other techniques for measuring time.

However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, June begins with the sun in the astrological sign of Gemini, and ends with the sun in the astrological sign of Cancer.

However, nihontō of longer lengths also existed, including lengths up to 78 cm ( 2 shaku 5 sun 5 bu ).

However, the first sun dome they find has been destroyed by the native Venusians.

However, conservation tillage systems delay warming of the soil due to the reduction of dark earth exposure to the warmth of the spring sun, thus delaying the planting of the next year's spring crop of corn.

However, Ernest Klein suggests a possible Semitic origin in Akkadian erebu " to go down, set " ( in reference to the sun ) which would parallel occident.

" However, the popular vote was won by the word " Aurinko ", sun.

However, UVB heat lamps have not been proven to have the same quality as direct, unfiltered UV rays from the sun.

However, many Malagasy people do believe that the indri worships the sun.

However, the Irish grian, ‘ sun ’ is thought to be derived from Proto-Celtic * greinā ‘ sun ’ and cognate with Welsh greian ‘ sun ’ and the Proto-Celtic * greinā is unlikely to have developed into Grannos in Gaulish and other Continental Celtic languages.

However this may be a mistake, since both houses used many emblems-one very popular Yorkist emblem was " the sun in spendour ".

However, the dart misses its mark, and the sun throws his own back at the morning star, piercing the lord of dawn.

However, no other god wants the task of being the sun.

However Krishna created an artificial eclipse by using his Sudarshana Chakra to hide the sun, forcing Kauravas to believe the day was over and Arjuna ’ s death was imminent.

However, fragile grasslands and heath-lands are still able to develop, supporting plant species such as sun orchid and spider orchid.

However, if a powerboat operator must look straight into a sun low in the sky to see a kayaker, the motion of brightly coloured paddle blades may be of more value than lighting on the kayak.

However, many say that the risk of skin cancer from exposure to the sun outweighs the risk of cancers associated with deficiencies in Vitamin D. In particular, they contribute to a predisposition for hypovitaminosis D, which can lead to rickets or osteoporosis and may increase the risk of seizures in infants born to affected mothers.

However, the Doctor had already pre-programmed the Hand of Omega to turn their sun into a supernova, resulting in Skaro's being completely obliterated.

However, the Doctor had altered the Hand's programming so that instead of enhancing Skaro's sun, the Hand turned it supernova, obliterating Skaro and, presumably, the Daleks themselves.

However, the sun has come out the next morning and the boy wakes up to find the snowman has melted.

However, it is more correct for a very slender plate when the angle becomes large and flow separation occurs, or if the flow speed is supersonic.

However, a good sword blow arriving in exactly perpendicular angle to the surface could cut through the links ; when the mail was not riveted, a well placed thrust from a spear or thin sword could penetrate, and a pollaxe or halberd blow could break through the armour.

However, the Delaunay triangulation does not necessarily minimize the maximum angle.

However, factors such as forced or non-standard development ( such as bleach bypass or cross processing ), compensation for filters or shutter angle, as well as intended under-and over-exposure may cause the cinematographer to actually " rate " the stock differently from the EI.

However, a bullet fired at an angle not perfectly vertical will retain its spin on the way down and can attain much more lethal speeds.

However, a hydrophilic surface ( one that has an original contact angle less than 90 °) becomes more hydrophilic when microstructured – its new contact angle becomes less than the original.

However, they only work with relatively constant-amplitude-modulation signals such as angle modulation ( FSK or PSK ) and CDMA, but not with QAM and OFDM.

However, he has claimed that " to the extent that I favoured any one angle, it was the social: language as the creature and creator of human society ".

However, if the angle of incidence is greater ( i. e. the ray is closer to being parallel to the boundary ) than the critical angle – the angle of incidence at which light is refracted such that it travels along the boundary – then the light will stop crossing the boundary altogether and instead be totally reflected back internally.

However, in later versions Mercedes changed to a 60 ° angle, making the engine more compact and allowing elimination of the balancing shaft.

However, Enzo Ferrari had a personal dislike of the 120 ° V6 layout, preferring a 65 ° angle, and after that time it was replaced by other engines.

However, the angle θ is single-valued only in a region that does not enclose the origin.

However, when the angle of incidence of the incoming light is increased from zero, the central wavelength of the filter decreases, resulting in partial tunability.

However, it is possible to solve the radial part of the integral so that only the integration over the azimuth angle remains to be done numerically.

However, by employing a very simple conformal mapping, the inconvenient angle is mapped to one of precisely pi radians, meaning that the corner of two planes is transformed to a straight line.

However, in plane mapping there are two other angles to consider: the hyperbolic angle and the slope, which is the analogue of angle for dual numbers.

However geometric metameric failure can occur when two samples match when viewed from one angle, but then fail to match when viewed from a different angle.

However, for the same reasons, terminal performance of Glaser bullets can vary dramatically, producing impressive successes and equally spectacular failures depending on the angle at which the target is struck.

However, if the main wing stalls, recovery becomes difficult, as the canard is more deeply stalled and angle of attack increases rapidly.

However, due to the gaff on the top edge of the sail the centre of effort is typically lower, somewhat reducing the angle of heel ( leaning of the boat caused by wind force on the sails ) compared to a similar sized Bermuda rigged sail.
