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.
Day (Sidereal)
A sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation relative to distant stars, approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds.
History/Origin
The concept of the sidereal day has been used in astronomy for centuries to measure Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, differing slightly from the solar day used in everyday timekeeping.
Current Use
Sidereal days are primarily used in astronomy and celestial navigation to track the positions of stars and other celestial objects accurately.
