      Magnetic Declination = Magnetic Bearing of the Sun - True Bearing of the Sun At noon, the true bearing of the sun is typically 180° (South). So, Magnetic Declination = 185° 20′ - 180° = 5° 20′ This indicates a magnetic declination of 5° 20′ East.

      Magnetic Declination = Magnetic Bearing of the Sun – True Bearing of the Sun

      At noon, the true bearing of the sun is typically 180° (South).

      So,

      Magnetic Declination = 185° 20′ – 180° = 5° 20′

      This indicates a magnetic declination of 5° 20′ East.
