Analemma:
a plot or graph of the position of the sun in the sky at a certain time of day (such as noon) at one locale measured throughout the year that has the shape of a figure 8;
also: a scale (as on a globe or sundial) based on such a plot that shows the sun's position for each day of the year or that allows local mean time.
