Mean solar time is a timekeeping system based on the position of the mean or average sun, which is a theoretical sun that moves along the celestial equator at a constant speed. It is used as a standard time to which clocks are set, and represents a 24-hour day that approximates the average length of a solar day over the course of a year.
