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.
Year (Leap)
A leap year is a year that has 366 days, including an extra day (February 29) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.
History/Origin
The concept of adding an extra day to the calendar was introduced by the Julian calendar in 45 BC and refined by the Gregorian calendar in 1582 to correct inaccuracies in the Julian system, establishing the current rules for leap years.
Current Use
Leap years are used in the Gregorian calendar to maintain alignment with Earth's orbit around the Sun, occurring every four years with exceptions for century years not divisible by 400, ensuring calendar accuracy over long periods.
