What are Day and Minute

A day is a unit of time typically defined as 24 hours. However, a 'sidereal day' is slightly shorter, approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds. It represents the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis relative to the background stars, rather than the sun.

A minute is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of an hour or 60 seconds. In the context of sidereal time, a 'sidereal minute' is a part of a sidereal hour, which is 1/24th of a sidereal day. This means that a sidereal minute is slightly shorter than a standard minute.
