Dynamical time scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dynamical time scale has two distinct meanings and usages, both related to astronomy: •In one use, which occurs in stellar physics, the dynamical time scale is alternatively known as the freefall ...

Dynamical Time replaced ephemeris time as the independent argument in dynamical theories and ephemerides. Its unit of duration is based on the orbital motions of the Earth, Moon, and planets.

Barycentric Dynamical Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ) was a time standard used to take account of time dilation when calculating orbits of planets, asteroids, comets and interplanetary spacecraft in the Solar system....

Dynamical time for barycentric phenomena (TDB) which replaced ephemeris time when the IAU 1976 System of Astronomical Constants was implemented in the Astronomical Almanac in 1984. The difference between terrestrial dynamical time and TDB is due to variations in the gravitational potential around the Earth's orbit combined ...

Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT) is dynamical time for geocentric phenomena which replaced Ephemeris Time when the IAU 1976 System of Astronomical Constants was implemented in the Astronomical Almanac in 1984. TDT is independent of the variable rotation of the Earth, and the lengths of the tropical year and synodic month ...

Dynamical time (formerly Ephemeris Time, ET) is the independent variable in the theories which describe the motions of bodies in the solar system. ... Barycentric Dynamical Time, TDB, is a coordinate time, suitable for labelling events that are most simply described in a context where the bodies of the solar system are...

Ephemeris Time; Dynamical Time; Terrestrial Time. Once the worldwide system of time zones was in place, with UT proudly heading up the list, all should have been well forever after. But such was not to be. Astronomers working with solar-system dynamics noticed something very disturbing.

For satellite orbit computations it is common to use Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT), which represents a uniform time scale for motion within the earth's gravity field and which has the same rate as that of an atomic clock on the earth, and is in fact defined by that rate (see below).
