1,306. If the Sun's Course Exceeds 180 Degrees

Rabbi Jack Abramowitz

Hilchos Kiddush HaChodesh 13:5

If the sun’s course exceeds 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 and proceed using the result. For example, if the sun’s course is 200 degrees, subtract it from 360, which leaves 160 degrees. We already know that the angle for a course of 160 degrees is 42 minutes, so that will also be the angle for a course of 200 degrees.

Hilchos Kiddush HaChodesh 13:6

Similarly, if the sun’s course is 300 degrees, subtract it from 360. This leaves 60. We already know that the angle for a course of 60 degrees is 1 degree, 41 minutes; this is also the angle for a course of 300 degrees. This same process should be followed with other numbers.
