Eli5: Equation of time

239 views

I get that this is made up of two components.

One part is because the Earth is elliptical and one part is because of the tilt.

The elliptical effect on difference between solar noon and clock noon I get.

However, I have not been able to work out why the tilt of the axis causes a difference between solar noon and clock noon and if anyone can explain it to me that would be great, tyia
