70. The reader should note carefully when the total of all three corrections should be used and when the total of corrections (2) and (3) will suffice. When we merely want to know by how many seconds local sunrise preceded or followed 6 a.m., we should simply add up the second and third corrections, for here there is no need to consider the effect of terrestrial longitude. If the total correction is positive, sunrise precedes 6 a.m.; if the total correction is negative, sunrise is later than 6 a.m. The first three examples above illustrate this aspect of the problem.
