"  It is a graphical representation of the amount of time one would add or
subtract from the mean solar time (24 hours) in order to get the true time it
will take for the Earth to rotate 360 degrees on its axis for that particular
day of the year. "

That's close, but it's not quite right. So where on the Internet would you
expect to go to get complete info on the analemma and its meaning? Would you
believe... www.analemma.com? It's a great little web site.
