Hour (Sidereal)
An hour (sidereal) is a unit of time based on the Earth's rotation relative to distant stars, equal to approximately 3,894 seconds, used primarily in astronomy.
History/Origin
The sidereal hour originated from the ancient division of the day based on Earth's rotation relative to the stars, differing from the solar hour by about 4 minutes, and has been used historically in astronomy for precise timekeeping.
Current Use
Sidereal hours are mainly used in astronomy and astrophysics to measure celestial events and the Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects, rather than in everyday timekeeping.
Minute (Sidereal)
A sidereal minute is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of a sidereal hour, used in astronomy to measure time based on Earth's rotation relative to distant stars.
History/Origin
The sidereal minute originated from the need to measure Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects, with its concept dating back to the development of sidereal time in astronomy during the 19th century.
Current Use
Sidereal minutes are primarily used in astronomy and astrophysics to specify precise time intervals related to Earth's rotation relative to stars, especially in celestial coordinate systems and telescope tracking.
