Second (Sidereal)
A second (sidereal) is the time measurement based on Earth's rotation relative to distant stars, approximately 3 minutes shorter than the solar second, used in astronomy.
History/Origin
The sidereal second has origins in astronomical observations of Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects. It was established to provide a precise time standard for celestial measurements, differing from the solar second used in everyday timekeeping.
Current Use
The sidereal second is primarily used in astronomy and astrophysics for precise time measurements related to celestial events, star tracking, and satellite navigation systems.
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.
