What are day and second

Definition of day

A day is a unit of time traditionally based on the Earth's rotation around its axis. It is commonly understood to be 24 hours long, although this can vary slightly due to the Earth's irregular rotation speed. A solar day, which is the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky, averages about 24 hours. This period is divided into daytime and nighttime, which are determined by the Earth's rotation exposing different parts of the planet to the Sun's light.

Definition of second

A second, the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom at 0 degrees Kelvin. This precise measurement is used to calibrate clocks and watches and is fundamental to the science of timekeeping, known as chronometry.

Conversion of day to second

1 rev/day = 0.000011574 rev/s
1 rev/s = 86400 rev/day

Example 1:
Convert 2 rev/day to rev/s:
2 rev/day = 2 × 0.000011574 rev/s = 0.000023148 rev/s

Example 2:
Convert 120 rev/day to rev/s:
120 rev/day = 120 × 0.000011574 rev/s = 0.0013888 rev/s

History of day and second

The concept of converting revolutions per day to revolutions per second dates back to the need for precise timekeeping in various fields such as astronomy, engineering, and mechanics. This conversion allows for a clearer understanding of rotational speeds on different time scales, facilitating better communication and accuracy in technical disciplines.
