Earth’s period between successive perihelion transits (the “anomalistic year”) is 365.2596 mean solar days, and the eccentricity of its orbit is 0.0167504. Assuming motion in a Keplerian elliptical orbit, how far does the Earth move in angle in the orbit, starting from perihelion, in a time equal to one-quarter of the anomalistic year? Give your result in degrees to an accuracy of one second of arc or better. Any method may be used, including numerical computation with a calculator or computer.
