  Geocentric \Ge`o*cen"tric\, Geocentrical \Ge`o*cen"tric*al\, a.
     [Gr. ge`a, gh^, the earth + ke`ntron center: cf. F.
     g['e]ocentrique.] (Astron.)
     (a) Having, considering, or based on, the earth as center;
         as, the geocentric theory of the universe; in relation to
         or seen from the earth, -- usually opposed to
         heliocentric, as seen from the sun; as, the geocentric
         longitude or latitude of a planet.
         [1913 Webster + Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     Geocentric latitude (of place) the angle included between
        the radius of the earth through the place and the plane of
        the equator, in distinction from geographic latitude. It
        is a little less than the geographic latitude.
        [1913 Webster]

  Geocentric \Ge`o*cen"tric\, Geocentrical \Ge`o*cen"tric*al\, a.
     ]
     Having, considering, or based on, the earth as center; as,
     the geocentric theory of the universe.

  Parallax \Par"al*lax\, n. [Gr. ? alternation, the mutual
     inclination of two lines forming an angle, fr. ? to change a
     little, go aside, deviate; ? beside, beyond + ? to change:
     cf. F. parallaxe. Cf. Parallel.]
     1. The apparent displacement, or difference of position, of
        an object, as seen from two different stations, or points
        of view.
  
     2. (Astron.) The apparent difference in position of a body
        (as the sun, or a star) as seen from some point on the
        earth's surface, and as seen from some other conventional
        point, as the earth's center or the sun.
  
     Annual parallax, the greatest value of the heliocentric
        parallax, or the greatest annual apparent change of place
        of a body as seen from the earth and sun; as, the annual
        parallax of a fixed star.
  
     Binocular parallax, the apparent difference in position of
        an object as seen separately by one eye, and then by the
        other, the head remaining unmoved.
  
     Diurnal, or Geocentric, parallax, the parallax of a
        body with reference to the earth's center. This is the
        kind of parallax that is generally understood when the
        term is used without qualification.
  
     Heliocentric parallax, the parallax of a body with
        reference to the sun, or the angle subtended at the body
        by lines drawn from it to the earth and sun; as, the
        heliocentric parallax of a planet.
  
     Horizontal parallax, the geocentric parallx of a heavenly
        body when in the horizon, or the angle subtended at the
        body by the earth's radius.
  
     Optical parallax, the apparent displacement in position
        undergone by an object when viewed by either eye singly.
        --Brande & C.
  
     Parallax of the cross wires (of an optical instrument),
        their apparent displacement when the eye changes its
        position, caused by their not being exactly in the focus
        of the object glass.
  
     Stellar parallax, the annual parallax of a fixed star.

  Geocentric \Ge`o*cen"tric\, Geocentrical \Ge`o*cen"tric*al\, a.
     [Gr. ge`a, gh^, the earth + ke`ntron center: cf. F.
     g['e]ocentrique.] (Astron.)
     (a) Having reference to the earth as center; in relation to
         or seen from the earth, -- usually opposed to
         heliocentric, as seen from the sun; as, the geocentric
         longitude or latitude of a planet.
     (b) Having reference to the center of the earth.
  
     Geocentric latitude (of place) the angle included between
        the radius of the earth through the place and the plane of
        the equator, in distinction from geographic latitude. It
        is a little less than the geographic latitude.
