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
A minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds.
History/Origin
The minute has origins in ancient timekeeping systems, historically divided into 60 seconds based on the sexagesimal system used by the Babylonians.
Current Use
Minutes are widely used to measure short durations of time in everyday life, such as in schedules, clocks, and timekeeping standards.
